European CME credits (ECMEC^®s)

The SIOG 2025 Annual Conference, Ghent, Belgium 20/11/2025 – 22/11/2025 , has been accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME^®) with 14 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.

Information regarding the conversion of EACCME^® credits
Credit will be converted based on one (1) hour of participation equalling one credit for all activities. Physicians wishing to convert EACCME^® credits to AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ will be required to access the AMA website at https://edhub.amaassn.org/pages/applications to obtain the necessary paperwork and instructions. Physicians and other health care professionals will be required to pay a processing fee to the AMA.
For other countries, please contact the relevant national/regional accreditation authority.

To receive your Continuing Medical Education (CME) Credits, please note that you will need to scan your name badge twice daily (once in the morning, once in the afternoon) at the terminals in the registration area or with the hostess at the entrance of the exhibition area.
