SACSCOC Accreditation
Eastern Virginia Medical School is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) to award the Doctor of Medicine degree, Masters' degrees, Doctoral degrees, and Certificates.
EVMS is currently undergoing the SACSCOC reaffirmation process -- and selected cultural humility as the topic for the required Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP). An on-site Reaffirmation Review that was initially scheduled for March 31, 2020 has been moved to Feb. 16, 2021 through Feb. 18, 2021 due the Coronavirus outbreak.
Contact the Commission on Colleges at 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, GA 30033-4097 or call 404.679.4500 for questions about the accreditation of EVMS.
LCME Accreditation
EVMS is also accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME). The school received full, eight-year accreditation during its most recent review, which was completed in early 2013.
