The outcome of the evaluation process for Institutional and Medical School Accreditation in 2024 is the fruit of a broad and inclusive exercise of consultation, preparation, and organization of evidence in accordance with the guidelines established by the International Evaluation and Accreditation Council (CEAI) belonging to the Union of Universities of Latin America and the Caribbean (UDULC). This process demonstrated the talent, commitment, and rich diversity of the university community, whose capacity, dedication, and enthusiasm proved up to the challenges of these times. The process began in 2022 and involved all medical sciences university campuses in the country. The objective of the work was to highlight the experience gained by all work teams in compiling self-assessment reports for the institution and the school, as well as the impact achieved in driving medical universities throughout the country to achieve this status. ELAM's international accreditation was the result of a strategic decision in response to the challenges its graduates faced regarding professional and employment recognition in their countries of origin. Supported by previous achievements of excellence at the national level, the institution demonstrated a solid foundation that was strengthened with the technical support of the CEAI, allowing for rigorous planning consistent with international standards. The ethics, experience, and respect of the peer reviewers, both virtual and in-person, transformed each moment into an opportunity for mutual learning and growth. This process not only highlights the institution's merits but also paves the way for international recognition of degrees and credits, promoting academic mobility and fostering continuous improvement.
