EACCME^® credits

Each participant can only receive the number of credits he/she is entitled to according to his/her actual participation at the event once he/she has completed the feedback form. 

The EACCME^® awards ECMEC^®s on the basis of 1 ECMEC^® for one hour of CME with a maximum of 8 ECMEC^®s per day.
