St. Matthew’s University School of Medicine is accredited by the Accreditation Commission on Colleges of Medicine (ACCM). Additionally, it has received recognition by the World Federation of Medical Education (WFME) and its standards have been deemed comparable to the standards used to accredit medical schools in the United States by the U.S. Department of Education’s National Committee on Foreign Medical Education and Accreditation (NCFMEA).
