For this purpose, define vision, mission and strategic goals of the organization/program/institution etc. Then set the targets with benchmarking exercise.

(i) carefully study how medical schools measure themselves. I would include the ranking system from U.S. News and World Report for medical schools in the United States as well as ranking systems from many other sources.
(ii) ask those who are practicing medicine in : (a) your country and/or (b) other selected countries to rank medical schools themselves on the basis of various characteristics. This is essentially an opinion poll from the profession itself.
From these two sources one might develop indicators which would be useful for you.

KPIs must be process specific and organization wide, and be related to purpose of a process. Victor Basili has developed a Goal-Question-Metric (GQM) method that is intuitive and useful in identifying effective KPIs. Here two links to his work:
Organization level, KPIs should be business objectives focused, and at the process level they should be related to the process outcome, its inputs and in-process activities.
While implementing KPis, we must always consider data collection and quality of date being collected for KPIs.
