About Medical School Advisory Group (MSAG)

MSAG has supported medical schools through continuous quality improvement efforts, including accreditation, for more than 20 years. MSAG helps medical schools navigate the complexity of the undergraduate medical education (UME) accreditation process, including accreditation planning, response to LCME concerns, continuous improvement planning, and leadership development. Project teams composed of educators, physicians, administrators, and experts in continuous quality improvement bring deep experience in higher education and the health professions.
