摘要

摘要：根据《世界医学院校名录》，加勒比地区约有 100 所医学院校，导致教育计划和学生成绩参差不齐。认证对于维持教育标准至关重要。世界医学教育联合会（WFME）认可的认证机构激增，导致了跨境认证实践和市场驱动的竞争。对加勒比地区认证程序完整性的担忧引发了对教育质量和全球影响的质疑。建立一个框架并对世界医学教育联合会的跨境认证进行监督，对于维护教育标准和防止全球影响至关重要。ECFMG急需进行干预，调查并恢复加勒比地区医学院校认证的完整性，为全球认证标准开创先例。关键词：医学教育；认证标准；教育质量；跨境认证；认证挑战

Cross-Border Accreditation in the Caribbean: A Potential Threat to the Integrity of the Accreditation Process?

Abstract: According to the World Directory of Medical Schools, the Caribbean region hosts around 100 medical schools, leading to variations in education programs and student performance. Accreditation is crucial for maintaining educational standards. The proliferation of accrediting agencies recognized by the World Federation of Medical Education (WFME) has led to cross-border accreditation practices and market-driven competition. Concerns about the integrity of accreditation processes in the Caribbean region have raised questions about educational quality and global implications. Establishing a framework and scrutiny of the WFME regarding cross-border accreditation is essential to preserve educational standards and prevent global implications. ECFMG’s intervention is urgently needed to investigate and restore the integrity of medical school accreditation in the Caribbean, setting a precedent for global accreditation standards.

Keywords: medical education, accreditation standards, educational quality, cross-border accreditation, accreditation challenges
