Makassar — The Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FMHS) of Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar held an activity on Monday (October 6, 2025) to complete the accreditation self-evaluation report based on the 8 criteria set by the national accreditation body. The event, conducted at the FMHS Unismuh Building, involved faculty leaders, lecturers, and the quality assurance team.

This activity forms an essential part of FMHS Unismuh’s preparation for the upcoming accreditation process, which aims to assess the quality of higher education delivery. Through the 8 established criteria, the faculty reaffirms its commitment to enhancing the quality of education, research, community service, governance, and student services.

The Vice Dean I of FMHS Unismuh, Dr. dr. Andi Weri Sompa, M.Kes., Sp.N(K), emphasized the importance of understanding the latest accreditation instruments. “The Qualitative Accreditation Instrument with 8 Criteria requires each study program to be more detailed in describing processes and achievements. It is not only about numbers, but also about narratives that reflect academic quality and culture,” she stated.

He further underlined that accreditation should not be viewed merely as the fulfillment of administrative documents, but also as a medium for institutional self-reflection. “By completing the self-evaluation report objectively, we are able to identify strengths and weaknesses while formulating sustainable improvement strategies,” dr. Weri remarked.

The event also served as an occasion for internal consolidation, where all academic components of the faculty were encouraged to actively participate in preparing the report. Discussions, data reviews, and verification of supporting evidence were carried out collaboratively to ensure that the information presented genuinely reflected the actual condition of the faculty.

In addition, the completion of the accreditation report is considered pivotal in strengthening FMHS Unismuh’s position in higher education competition at both the national and international levels. Achieving an “Excellent” accreditation status is expected to enhance public trust, attract prospective students, and expand academic collaborations.

“A strong accreditation outcome will positively impact the recognition of our graduates’ quality. This is our shared responsibility—to ensure that FMHS Unismuh continues to produce healthcare professionals who are competent, professional, and uphold integrity,” concluded dr. Weri.
