CME ACCREDITATION

Each medical specialist should claim only those hours of credit that he/she actually spent in the educational activity.

Information on the process to convert EACCME® credit to AMA credit can be found at edhub.ama-assn.org/pages/applications.
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.
