The AMC’s Assessment and Accreditation of Medical Schools: Standards and Procedures describe the procedures by which an institution may seek assessment of a proposal to establish a new medical program. This involves an assessment of plans before the program is introduced, and subsequent follow-up assessment if required. In 2005, the AMC assessed and accredited plans for the introduction of a four-year, graduate-entry medical program at the University of Notre Dame Australia (UNDA), Fremantle. In 2007, the AMC then considered plans for the four-year, graduate-entry medical program to be offered by the University’s School of Medicine, Sydney. As students graduating from these two programs receive different qualifications, and the programs are managed and run as distinct academic programs, the AMC has assessed and accredited the two programs separately.
