CME Accreditation
We are delighted to announce that the ECE 2022 Congress, Milan, Italy, has been accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®) with 22 European CME credits (ECMEC®s) in total.
One CME point will be awarded per hour viewed. Your CME points will be calculated based on your total viewing time over the Congress days, plus content you view on demand in the two weeks after the Congress has taken place. A maximum of 22 credits will be awarded, even if parallel sessions have been viewed and you watch longer than 22 hours.
NEW for ECE 2022 for ECE@Home and post event on demand viewing: CME points can be awarded for session hours watched on demand via the virtual platform (in My Congress Activities) for up to two weeks after the Congress has taken place. Any session watched after this will not count towards any CME points.
