Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits

The 22nd International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2018), Amsterdam, Netherlands, 23 – 27 July 2018 has been accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME^®) with 24 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 PRACategory 1 CreditsTM. Information on the process to convert EACCME^® credit to AMA credit can be found at www.ama-assn.org/education/earn-credit-participation-international-activities.

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.
