How to obtain your CME credits from EFORT Annual Congress in Barcelona
Click Here to Manage Email Alerts
The 19th EFORT Congress has been granted a maximum of 18 European CME credits by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education.
Each medical specialist should claim only those hours of credit that he or she actually spent in the educational activity. The European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME) credit system is based on one European CME credit (ECMEC) per hour with a maximum of three ECMECs for half-day event and six ECMECs for a full-day event.
Regulations require scanning in and out of each session to collect the total number of hours the medical specialist attended into the scientific program as part of the educational activity of the congress. Industry-sponsored symposia are not eligible for CME accreditation and do not count in the total number of hours spent in the educational activity.
