The 'The World Congress of Paediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery Steering Committee' (or) '7th World Congress of Pediatric Cardiology & Cardiac Surgery is accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME) to provide the following CME activity for medical specialists. The EACCME is an institution of the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS) www.uems.net.

The '7th World Congress of Pediatric Cardiology & Cardiac Surgery' is designated for a maximum of (or 'for up to') 34 hours of European external CME credits. Each medical specialist should claim only those hours of credit that he/she actually spent in the educational activity

Through an agreement between the European Union of Medical Specialists and the American Medical Association, physicians may convert EACCME credits to an equivalent number of AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.

Live educational activities, occurring outside of Canada, recognized by the UEMS-EACCME for ECMEC credits 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.

EACCME Credits

Each medical specialist should claim only those hours of credit that he/she actually spent in the educational activity. The EACCME credit system is based on 1 ECMEC per hour with a maximum of 3 ECMECs for half a day and 6 ECMECs for a full-day event.
