Abstract

Quality management in medical education is not limited to teaching and learning but also includes providing services to students. Many international, regional, and national organizations adopt global standards to improve quality in medical schools. Therefore, accreditation is a tool to reach these global standards for continuous improvement in medical institutions’ performance, and it is implemented by accreditation organizations depending on specific standards (national, regional, or global standards). It is a certificate that proves quality for a specified period and guarantees the quality of graduates of medical schools that have a good reputation. However, the adoption of quality unit in medical education is one of the contemporary challenges that still face many obstacles and challenges.
