CME ACCREDITATION AT THE EFORT ANNUAL CONGRESS LYON 2025

The 26^th EFORT Congress 2025 in Lyon, France, has been granted for a maximum of 17 European CME credits (ECMEC) by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME).

Each medical specialist should claim only those hours of credit that he/she actually spent in the educational activity. The EACCME credit system is based on 0,5 ECMEC® for 30 minutes of CME with a maximum of 6 ECMECs for a full-day attendance to the EFORT Congress 2025.

The EACCME® credit system for the 26^th EFORT congress is based as following:

• Wednesday 11 June 2025 > Max. of 5 credits
• Thursday 12 June 2025 > Max. of 6 credits
• Friday 13 June 2025 > Max. of 6 credits

The EACCME® awards ECMEC®s on the basis of 0,5 ECMEC® for 30 minutes of CME with a maximum of 8 ECMEC®s per day. cf. Chapter XIII of UEMS 2023.07.

Regulations require scanning in and out of each session to collect the total amount of hours the medical specialist attended into the scientific programme as part of the educational activity of the congress.

NOTE: Industry-Sponsored Symposia Sessions, Posters and Poster Walks are not subject to CME accreditation and therefore do not count in the total of hours spent in the educational activity.
