Policies Attestation

DGSOM requires that faculty, instructors, residents, staff, and students review and attest to the integral features of our learning environment every year. 

The Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) requires that faculty, instructors, residents, students, and staff regularly review relevant policies within its standards. Components that require verification include curricular elements (e.g., course objectives, assessment methods), policies (e.g, anti-discrimination policy, mistreatment policy, student duty hour policy), and other documentation (e.g., Medical Student Handbook).
