The 59th Annual Meeting of the Association for European Paediatric and Congenital Cardiology, Padova, Italy 13/05/2026 - 16/05/2026, has been accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®) with 23.0 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 https://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.
EACCME® Credits
Each participant can only receive the number of credits he/she is entitled to according to actual participation, and once the feedback form has been completed (cf. criteria 22 of UEMS 2023.07).
