I was researching med schools, and I found that Baylor SOM was put on probation until Jan or Feb 2016.
The school still remained accredited, but what makes LCME probate med schools?

 

[ndafife]

gonna go out on a limb and say its because they weren't meeting accreditation standards

Failure to meet these standards: http://lcme.org/publications/

There are a ton of irregularities, deficiencies and insufficiencies:
financial
administrative
facilities
rotations
enrollment
admissions
diversity
curriculum

Not enough locker space.

I would not worry about LCME probation ever unless a school actually loses accreditation like that puerto rico school a while back.

That was awful. We got heart-rending pleas from SJB seniors who were suddenly ineligible for the Match.

:'( That's so sad. I would be devastated by that. Do you know if they ever got it back?

Some months later, political pressure caused the LCME to reverse the decision. Many of the SJB Seniors were caught in the Match debacle, though. This delayed them a year...
As the LCME becomes more lax in accrediting new schools, I'm afraid this will become more common.

What on earth is SJB
