The institutional self-study and the external peer review that constitute Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) accreditation involve assessment of both processes and outcomes. The goals of this session were to: 1) come to a shared definition and understanding of the differences and linkages among process, balance, and outcome measures; and 2) engage in an interactive exercise that illustrates the relationship of these measures to the intent of LCME elements and to the overarching purpose of medical education program accreditation.
