CME Credits
The conference applied for certification of the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®). The EACCME is an institution of the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS, www.uems.net). The American Medical Association (AMA) recognises EACCME credits as valid CME credits towards the Physician’s Recognition Award (PRA). To convert EACCME credits into AMA PRA category 1 credits, please contact AMA (www.ama-assn.org/education/earn-credit-participation-international-activities). To obtain your CME credits, please provide daily proof of presence by scanning your name badge at the provided counter. Afterwards, you will receive a certificate of attendance indicating the amount of CME credits obtained via e-mail. Each medical specialist should claim only those hours of credit that he/she actually spent in the educational activity. Later requests are discouraged.
