Quality Assurance Scheme (QAS)
Framework and Line of Communication for Academic Quality Assurance
About the Quality Assurance Scheme
Chattagram International Medical College (CIMC) has been implementing the National Guidelines and Tools for Quality Assurance Scheme (QAS) since 2014. In accordance with national directives, CIMC has established a structured academic quality framework through the Medical Education Unit (MEU).
The QAS ensures continuous improvement in curriculum delivery, assessment, faculty development, and student mentoring through a clearly defined line of communication and accountability.
