Dear colleagues,
Dear Madams, dear Sirs,
The EBAC Meeting with Providers and Sponsors 2020 is going to take place on May 14, 2020 at 11am as a virtual meeting via Zoom.
Please register via secretariat@ebac-cme.org and you will be provided with the Zoom-link and login details one day prior to the meeting.
Dear colleagues,
dear Madams,
dear Sirs,
this is a message to all those, who, in times of the Corona crisis, have planned to organize a live educational meeting in the near future, and now try to convert the educational content to an e-learning module.
EBAC has a longstanding experience in accreditation of independent e-learning (incl. accreditation of micro-e-learning) and would like to offer you all support needed to successfully achieve conversion of your live meetings to accredited distance learning material.
EBAC offers you the following options for conversion:
Dear colleagues,
dear Madams,
dear Sirs,
the Covid-19 pandemic is stretching societies and in particular health care workers globally. The unforeseen challenge of this pandemic now makes it an ethical obligation for physicians, nurses and all others working in health care to deliver care to Covid-19 patients, and help to stop further spread of the infection.
In our view, this unescapable obligation implies that for a time period of unknown duration travel, as well as live meetings of whatever size, cannot be justified solely for the purposes of continuing medical education. Thus, EBAC is in full support of all providers who now postpone or even cancel planned live educational meetings. EBAC will do everything to facilitate unbureaucratic re-accreditation once the activity has been rescheduled. Please do not hesitate to contact the EBAC office in case of further questions in this regard.
The next EBAC Meeting with Providers and Sponsors will take place on May 14th, 2020 (Thursday) from 11am till 4pm at Sheraton Hotel at Frankfurt Airport (Germany).
We are looking forward to discuss current issues in accrediation and share experiences in CME.
Please let us know whether you would personally be interested in participating or if you think another representative would be interested in meeting with EBAC. If you have any questions or would like to register: secretariat@ebac-cme.org
An agenda will be circulated and published soon!
Looking forward to meeting you in Frankfurt!
International relations:
EBAC has started CME accreditation in 2001, and has so far exclusively practiced activity accreditation.
EBAC, in agreement with its parent organisation ECSF, now has started to also offer provider accreditation to allow providers to establish a culture of learning, and develop their unique profile.
EBAC and AMA have decided to enter into an agreement on conversion of CME credit points.
Following mutual recognition of accreditation systems between EBAC and the Accreditation Council for CME (ACCME) in 2015, EBAC has already started to offer to ACCME accredited providers to convert CME credits for European participants in American CME activities.
The decision of the AMA now makes this process reciprocal, and constitutes a cornerstone in making substantial equivalency between accreditation systems relevant to learners.
The presentations of CCC18 are now available online:
The CCC18 dealt with “What our data tells us: about value, providers, activities, and learners” and has gathered accreditors as well as providers from all over the globe to discuss
