A brief background will be given regarding the reason for accreditation of medical schools in general, and the need for Japanese schools in particular to be accredited. The ultimate aim of accreditation is to protect the public by ensuring that physicians are trained to be safe and competent. The immediate reason for accreditation is the requirement that for any medical graduate to be eligible to do the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) exams from 2023 on, they will need to have graduated from an accredited medical school. Accreditation for any medical school must follow the standards of the World Federation for Medical Education (WFME). Each region and/or country can individualize within these standards. 医学教育推進センター
