All registered delegates who attend the Congress and complete a post-event evaluation survey by the deadline, will receive a certificate of attendance. The Congress has been accredited by the EACCME® for maximum 22 European CME credits (ECMEC®s). The Pre-Congress Courses for 6 each.

Will the ISUOG World Congress be accredited for CME/CPD?

The Pre-Congress Course Mastering gynecological ultrasound: anatomy, pathology and overcoming the pitfalls has been accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®) for a maximum of 6 European CME credits (ECMEC®s). The Pre-Congress Course First trimester insights: ultrasounds meets genetics for optimal pregnancy outcomes has been accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®) for a maximum of 6 European CME credits (ECMEC®s).

ISUOG has applied for Mexican accreditation, as well. This page will be updated in due course with the outcome of that.
Conversion of EACCME credits
Through an agreement between the European Union of Medical Specialists and the American Medical Association, physicians may convert EACCME® credits to an equivalent number of AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Information on the process to convert EACCME® credits to AMA credits 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® credits 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. 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.ama-assn.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.
How do I obtain and complete my certificate of attendance?
All delegates will receive an online evaluation form by email (at the same email address you used to register for the Congress), after the live Congress has taken place. On completion of this online evaluation, delegates will be redirected to a page where they can complete a fillable PDF certificate with their name and number of credits claimed. We encourage all delegates to then download/save/print the certificate immediately, as they will not be able to revisit the page after navigating away from it. This certificate can then be used to self-certify and claim CME points. Please note, the above will need to be done by a deadline, to obtain an accredited certificate. After this point, delegates will not be able to do the online evaluation form or obtain an accredited certificate, but may still contact [email protected] for a general ISUOG certificate of attendance instead.
