EBAC and EAS

EBAC signed a cooperation agreement with the European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS) in March 2007, for a 24 months pilot period.

Prof. A. Kesäniemi (FI) was officially appointed as Representative of the EAS to the EBAC Board and will as such, actively participate in all EBAC activities, online accreditations, discussions and meetings.

The European Atherosclerosis Society

"The European Atherosclerosis Society, founded in 1964, is devoted to advancing knowledge of the causes, natural history, treatment and prevention of Atherosclerosis. Currently composed of about 400 senior and junior researchers in basic as well as clinical science, membership is open to scientists and physicians working in Europe and in neighboring countries."

EBAC Accreditation

Atherosclerosis related educational programmes can be submitted to EBAC for accreditation and will be evaluated by specialists in the field according to EBAC standards.

The "76th Annual EAS Congress", held in Helsinki, from June 10 until June 13, 2007, has been accredited by EBAC for 17 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).

In order to apply for EBAC acceditation, it is necessary to register as a CME provider. Once registered, it will be possible to submit applications for accreditation.

Please refer to the Documents Library Section of this website. You will find all the guidelines regarding the accreditation procedure.
