About the Liaison Committee on Medical Education:

The LCME is a national accrediting body that oversees medical education programs granting MD degrees in the U.S. and Canada. The role of the LCME is to determine if a medical education program granting the MD degree meets the national standards in addition to establishing institutional and programmatic quality improvement efforts. The American Medical Association (AMA) and the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) jointly sponsor the Liaison Committee on Medical Education.
