European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®) with 18 European CME
credits (ECMEC®s). Each medical specialist should claim only those hours of credit that he/she

Medical Association, physicians may convert EACCME® credits to an equivalent number of AMA PRA
Category 1 CreditsTM. Information on the process to convert EACCME® credit to AMA credit can be

ECMEC®s 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.”
