<p>[Panel’s</a> Review Lands Medical School on Probation - washingtonpost.com](<a href=“http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/10/15/AR2008101503120.html]Panel’s”>http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/10/15/AR2008101503120.html)</p>
<p>George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences was put on probation by its academic accrediting organization for being out of compliance on several standards, school officials told students and faculty yesterday.</p>
<p>The school remains FULLY ACCREDITED while it makes improvements. But it is the only medical school accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education that is on probation and only the fifth put on probation since 1994. No medical school has ever lost its accreditation through this process, a stroke that would effectively kill the program.</p>
