EACCME 3.0 – what’s new, what’s missing?

In this thought-provoking webinar, Froukje Sosef (COR2ED) will be speaking with Daniela Clape (Xpeer) and Eugene Pozniak (Siyemi Learning) about the recently-launched “EACCME 3.0” accreditation criteria from UEMS-EACCME (European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education).

With new criteria introduced in June 2023, some questions and challenges have been faced by all types of organisations providing accredited medical education: medical societies, professional congress organisers as well as for-profit and not-for-profit medical education providers.

This webinar will take a closer look at the new EACCME 3.0 criteria and discuss some of the key points.
– How do the new criteria affect the work of medical education providers?
– Where are the main challenges?
– Are the new criteria conflicting with other regulatory criteria?

The webinar provides a platform for deepening your understanding of the latest developments, offering insightful discussions, and invaluable perspectives to navigate the ever-changing terrain of medical learning.

While attending the webinar is free, registration is required.
