ESCRS will be submitting the Winter Meeting Programme for UEMS accreditation shortly. Updated credit information for the Winter Meeting in Helsinki will be updated here as soon as available.
PLEASE NOTE
ESCRS / UEMS grant credits for the full Meeting, however every Healthcare Professional is solely responsible for indicating the appropriate amount of credits for the number of sessions they have attended.
The ESCRS Winter Meeting 2026 Programme will be submitted to receive European CME credits (ECMEC®s) by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®).
The ESCRS Winter Meeting 2026, Helsinki, Finland, 06/03/2026-08/03/2026 will be submitted for accreditation by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®) for European CME credits (ECMEC®s). 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™. Information on the process to convert EACCME® credits to AMA credits can be found at https://edhub.ama-assn.org/pages/applications.
Live educational activities occurring outside of Canada, recognised 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.
Information regarding the conversion of EACCME® credits:“Credit will be converted based on one (1) hour of participation equalling one credit for all activities. Physicians wishing to convert EACCME® credits to AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ will be required to access the AMA website at https://edhub.ama-assn.org/pages/applications to obtain the necessary paperwork and instructions.
Physicians and other health care professionals will be required to pay a processing fee to the AMA. For other countries, please contact the relevant national/regional accreditation authority.”
