What is CME?

Continuing Medical Education (CME) consists of educational activities that maintain, develop or increase the knowledge, skills and professional performance of physicians and other health professionals.

CME credits are typically awarded for attending accredited conferences, workshops and online courses. Requirements differ between countries and specialties, so it is important to check how many credits an event offers and whether your national authority recognizes them.

When choosing a conference, look for events that clearly state their CME accreditation and provide certificates of attendance.
