CME Accreditation

The 26th Annual EAU Congress is a perfect platform for disseminating scientific and practical knowledge among urology professionals. Delegates attending this meeting have a unique opportunity to follow an intense programme of professional development and continuous medical education activities.

Accreditation of these activities is of utmost importance – both as a proof of top quality of the scientific contents of the congress and as an opportunity for the delegates to collect their CME credit points.

The accreditation procedure of the 26th Annual EAU Congress is carried out and supervised by the European Board of Urology (EBU), which is an independent regulatory body and works under the premises of the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS).

The EAU is accredited by EACCME/EBU to provide the following CME activity for medical specialists. The European Accreditation Council for CME (EACCME) and the European Board of Urology (EBU) are institutions of the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS), www.uems.net.

The 26th Annual EAU Congress is designated for a maximum of 27 hours of European CME credits including ESU Courses.

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

The EACCME/EBU credit system is based on 1 European CME Credit (ECMEC) per hour with a maximum of 3 ECMECs for half a day and 6 ECMECs for a full-day event.

The CME credit registration is carried out by the EU-ACME Office and during the congress you can find their desk at the registration area.

The EBU/EACCME CME Credits are recognised by most of the national CME authorities in Europe, which have agreed to cooperate in this European system.

All CME activities approved by the EBU/EACCME are recognised in the following countries:
Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, Georgia, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, The Netherlands, Norway, Region Lombardia, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey.
