Who was responsible for the first accreditation process for a medical school?

The first accreditation process for a medical school in the United States was established by the American Medical Association (AMA) in 1904. This initiative was led by the Council on Medical Education, which aimed to improve the standards of medical education and ensure quality training for physicians. The process was formalized further with the establishment of the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) in 1942, which continues to oversee the accreditation of medical schools today.
