Accreditation

Barbados Accreditation Council facilitates the free movement of labour by CARICOM nationals throughout the region through the Certificate of Recognition of CARICOM Skills Qualifications programme. They also offer Registration, Accreditation and various Recognition services designed to set standards and processes through which higher-learning institutions can operate.

The accreditation system used by the CAAM-HP is based on that of the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME). This system functions with a clear, authoritative mandate, operates independently of governments and institutions, uses preset standards, draws on external reviewers and involves self-evaluation and site visits.

• Accreditation Overview

“Recognized accreditation” means that the accrediting agency of a medical school has itself been reviewed and recognized by an external quality assurance organization. This quality assurance/recognition organization, in turn, has been reviewed and approved by ECFMG. Only medical schools accredited by an agency that is recognized by an organization approved by ECFMG will satisfy the requirements of the Recognized Accreditation Policy.
