Important advances in the accreditation of higher education institutions and programs have occurred in Chile. A definite step forward had been the accreditation of three of the six Medical Schools, considered in the agreement subscribed between the Chilean Medical Faculties Association and the National Committee for Undergraduate Program Accreditation (CNAP). According to this understanding, educational quality was evaluated using international standards and its improvement was encouraged. The accreditation procedure carried out at the University of Chile Medical School is described. Its observation has revealed the difficulties of accreditation procedures and the early benefits obtained after they have been completed. The careful observation of the evaluation procedure will help to improve the used model and to design an effective accreditation instrument that will ultimately improve undergraduate teaching programs.
智利在高等教育机构及项目的认证方面取得了重要进展。向前迈出的明确一步是，根据智利医学院协会与本科项目认证全国委员会（CNAP）签署的协议，对六所医学院中的三所进行了认证。根据这一谅解，采用国际标准对教育质量进行评估，并鼓励提高教育质量。文中描述了智利大学医学院所开展的认证程序。对该认证程序的观察揭示了认证程序存在的困难以及完成认证后早期所取得的成效。对评估程序的仔细观察将有助于改进所采用的模式，并设计出一种有效的认证工具，最终改善本科教学项目。
