CME Accreditation
The 28th 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 request for the European accreditation of the 28th Annual EAU Congress will be submitted to the UEMS/EACCME.
The number of the granted European CME Credits will be announced in the due time.
CME Credits
The EACCME/EBU credit system is based on 1 ECMEC per hour with a maximum of 3 ECMECs for half a day and 6 ECMECs for a full-day event. Please scan your EAU congress badge when entering the lecture room to have CME credits registered automatically.
The CME credit is carried out by the EU-ACME Office and during the congress you can find their desk at the area.

CME Credits outside Europe
Through an agreement between the European Union of Medical Specialists and the American Medical Association, physicians may convert EACCME credits to an equivalent number of AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Information on the process to convert EACCME credit to AMA credit can be found at the AMA website.
If you attended a conference in Europe and received a certificate for EACCME credit you can convert it to the AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™. To receive the credit, the conference must appear on the list of approved activities posted in the EACCME section of the UEMS Website.
To apply for conversion of EACCME credit to AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™, download the Application for EACCME Credit Conversion and submit the completed application by fax or mail, a copy of the EACCME credit certificate and appropriate processing fee. A certificate of AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ will be mailed within four weeks.
