CME Accreditation Information

This live educational webinar has been accredited by EACCME® with 2 European CME credits (ECMEC®s)!

The Frozen Tissue Collection and Biobanking, Graz, Austria, 15/11/2022- 15/11/2022 has been accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®) with 2 European CME credits (ECMEC®s). Each medical specialist should claim only those hours of credit that he/she actually spent in the educational activity.

Through an agreement between the Union Européenne des Médecins Spécialistes and the American Medical Association, physicians may convert EACCME® credits to an equivalent number of AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM. Information on the process to convert EACCME® credit to AMA credit can be found at www.ama–assn.org/education/earn–credit–participation–international–activities.

Live educational activities, occurring outside of Canada, recognised by the UEMS-EACCME® for ECMEC®s are deemed to be Accredited Group Learning Activities (Section 1) as defined by the Maintenance of Certification Program of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.

According to UEMS regulations, attendees can only claim CME credits if they have attended the entire live educational webinar. They can only receive the number of ECMEC®s corresponding to their actual attendance. Participants will be able to receive their accredited certificate once they have returned the feedback form. As part of this process participants’ attendance will be monitored throughout the event. Only live-viewing can be accredited.

The participants’ feedback forms will be distributed in the chat during the webinar. The completed Microsoft Office feedback form needs to be submitted digitally within 5 days.

Participants will then receive their EACCME® certificates via the following email address: office@bbmri-eric.eu
