Questions Addressed by the Steering Committee
1. Summarize the medical education program's strengths; challenges, including potential areas of noncompliance with accreditation standards; and areas in transition that may impact future compliance with standards. Analyze changes that have occurred since the last survey visit. Have new strengths or problems emerged? Are changing conditions likely to cause problems in the near future?
2. Note major recommendations for the future. How can the strengths be maintained and the most pressing problems addressed? Be brief, but specific in describing actions that will need to be (or already have been) taken.
