The ISO 9001 Quality Management System certificate has been held without interruption since 2003. TEPDAD accreditation was renewed for 2025-2031; our programme has been accredited for the third time. Eleven sub-commissions have been set up systematically within the Undergraduate Medical Education Coordinatorship. With the TEAD Software System, education processes have become traceable and reportable, with automatic mapping to UÇEP 2020. Stakeholder participation is systematic and multi-layered; strategic planning and performance management are monitored regularly.
