“Setting the Standard: Evaluating Professional Qualifications in Law and Medicine from Around the World”

The 2020 Symposium will take place on April 4-5, 2020 in New Orleans, Louisiana, prior to the start of AACRAO’s 106^th Annual Meeting. The symposium will strive to answer questions, generate discussion, and update the AICE Standards on the topic of evaluating international professional qualifications in law and medicine and the U.S. educational and professional comparability. We will explore how international professional degrees in law and medicine differ from academic degrees and from their U.S. counterparts and determine what standards may be applied in their evaluation. Discussion will revolve around the criteria used by U.S. institutions of higher education for the admission of professional degree holders to graduate and undergraduate degree programs and transfer credit considerations.

All participants are invited to attend a reception on April 4^th, the evening following the full-day symposium.
