LCME Call for Public Comment on Standard 7

October 7, 2025 – January 7, 2026

The structure of new Standard 7 was approved in principle by the LCME in February 2025. It has been revised based on the inclusion of Element 7.3, which was added to address the explicit requirement for content related to “nutrition” The revision that includes new Element 7.3 was initially approved by the LCME in September 2025 and now is open for public comment.

The LCME will consider your comments in its review of the proposed new Standard 7 at its February 2026 meeting. If finally approved, the revised standard and elements, with their associated DCI questions, would be effective in academic year 2027-28.

The public comment form will be available until January 7, 2025.
