Continuing Medical Education Credits
The ESC Congress 2009 is accredited by the European Board for Accreditation in Cardiology (EBAC)
and by the European Accreditation Council in CME (EACCME) for 18 hours of external CME credits.
Each participant should claim only those hours of credit that have actually been spent in the educational
activity.
EBAC works according to the quality standards of the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical
Education (EACCME), which is an institution of the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS).
Attendance Certificates for participants will be provided on site upon request, in the Registration Area,
as of Monday afternoon.
EACCME/ EBAC credits are recognised by the American Medical Association towards the Physician's Recognition
Award (PRA). Detailed instructions for converting EACCME/ EBAC Credits to AMA PRA Category 1 Credit are available
on the AMA website: ama-assn.org. If you have any questions, please contact the AMA Continuing Physician
Professional Development at pra@ama-assn.org.
In compliance with EBAC/ EACCME guidelines, all speakers and chairpersons participating in this programme have disclosed or indicated potential
conflicts of interest which might cause a bias in the presentations. The Organising Committee is responsible for ensuring that all potential
conflicts of interest relevant to the event are declared to the audience prior to the CME activities.
Industries are invited to organise scientific sessions as part of the ESC Congress 2009 programme.
Cooperation between clinicians, researchers and the pharmaceutical and technical industries has
significantly contributed to a better understanding and management of patients with cardiovascular
diseases.
This is reflected in a series of Industry Sponsored Satellite Symposia and shorter Lunch Time
Workshops which allow interactive discussion, devoted questions and if desired, current practice
of medical devices equipment and other themes relevant to the control and prevention of
cardiovascular diseases.
