The provincial government is restoring $20 million to the University of Saskatchewan’s College of Medicine to maintain its national accreditation.
The committee responsible for accrediting Canadian medical schools is set to visit the U of S at the end of October to decide whether the College of Medicine is up to standards.
“Accrediting agencies expect appropriate level of funding from government, so this restored necessary funding is a very encouraging outcome,” Tony Vannelli, U of S provost and vice-president academic, said in a post on the university’s website.
According to the university, the College of Medicine is almost up to standards and is prepared to meet the accreditation criteria in the upcoming review.
