Statement of Accreditation
Lincoln Memorial University-College of Osteopathic Medicine (LMU-DCOM) is accredited by the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA) to offer an academic program leading to the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree. The degree is conferred by the Board of Trustees of LMU on those candidates recommended by the faculty of LMU-DCOM. COCA is the only accrediting agency for predoctoral osteopathic medical education and is recognized by the United States Department of Education (USDE).
The most recent comprehensive accreditation review and site visit took place August 2022. The COCA granted LMU-DCOM Accreditation with Exceptional Outcome on December 9, 2022. LMU-DCOM was found to be in compliance with all standards and all elements were met. For schools with this status, accreditation will be granted for ten years. Monitoring is conducted through submission of the COCA annual report and the mid-cycle report that is due in year five. In December 2024 the COCA approved LMU-DCOM to open and recruit for an additional location in Orange Park, FL.
