The participants in the workshop discussed, during three days, the nine standards of the International Federation of Medical Standards (WFME), which include the mission, vision, and objectives standard, the educational program standard, the student assessment standard, the student standard, the academic and administrative staff standard, the educational resources standard, the program evaluation standard, the college governance and management standard, and the continuous renewal standard. The participants also reviewed the experiences of some countries in applying these standards, and then extracted the requirements for implementing the standards at the level of Yemen. The workshop came out with an initial draft of the criteria for private accreditation in accordance with international standards.
