Brigham Young University's planned School of Medicine has received preliminary accreditation, clearing a major hurdle toward enrolling its first class of medical students. The accreditation from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education allows BYU to move forward with recruitment and construction of medical education facilities.

The medical school represents BYU's first professional health-sciences program beyond nursing, and would make it one of a small number of religious universities operating a medical school. The university announced the school's creation in 2024, positioning it as addressing physician shortages in Utah and the Mountain West.

BYU has not yet announced when it plans to enroll its first class or released details about class size, admissions requirements, or whether the school will require adherence to the university's honor code. The preliminary accreditation is a standard early step; full accreditation typically follows after a school admits students and demonstrates compliance with educational standards.
