Resumen:

Accreditation in medical education is essential to ensure quality and foster continuous improvement. Since 2003, medical schools in Chile have been subject to a constant accreditation process. Recently, universities have faced new gaps and challenges in establishing new accreditation criteria. These changes highlight the need to understand how institutions have historically responded to accreditation feedback and what improvements they have implemented in their programs. Therefore, this research aims to identify patterns, trends, and differences in institutional responses to accreditation feedback and subsequent quality enhancements on the basis of over 20 years of experience accrediting medical programs in Chile.
