From 2009 to 2014, the Directorate General of Higher Education, Ministry of Education and Culture, supported the establishment of LAM-Ptkes through the Health Professional Education Quality (HPEQ) Project.
The workshop took place on Tuesday, January 17, 2023, at 08:30 AM WIB until completion, held offline in the Academic Senate Room, 3rd Floor, Central Administration Bureau of USU.

The workshop was officially opened by USU Vice Rector I, Dr. Edy Ikhsan, SH., MA. In his remarks, he conveyed that program accreditation is a comprehensive evaluation and assessment process of a program's commitment to quality and its capacity to implement the university's threefold mission (education, research, and community service).
Accreditation also determines whether a study program is eligible to offer its academic programs. A program's quality reflects the overall condition and characteristics of its input, process, output, outcomes, and impact or services, which are measured using predetermined criteria.
