UEMS/EACCME CME Credit Recognition

The American Medical Association (AMA) has an agreement of mutual recognition of continuing medical education (CME) credit with the European Union of Medical Specialties (UEMS). Under the terms of this agreement, the AMA will convert CME credit certified by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME), the accrediting arm of the UEMS, to AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™. Physicians (MDs, DOs or equivalent international degree) may have their EACCME credit converted to AMA PRA Category 1 CreditTM by applying to the AMA.

A complete list of activities for which credit may be converted can be found at www.uems.net. (This link will take you off the AMA Web site. The AMA is not responsible for the content of other Web sites).
