We are working with Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis to obtain accreditation for the teaching course and the main congress. For our European attendees, we would like to inform you that a recognition agreement between RCPSC and EACCME® is in place. According to this, the participants who will obtain accreditation certificates in the USA will be able to submit these to their respective national accreditation authority for conversion into national credits.
Each medical specialist should claim only those credits that they actually spent in the educational activity.
Please note, delegates are entitled to request a CME certificate under the following conditions:
