Benefits of accreditation

More and more European countries are running CME (Continuing Medical Education) systems for physicians, some of which are mandatory.
Therefore, doctors prefer to attend accredited meetings and earn CME credits that will be recognised by their National Accreditation Authorities. 
The accredited CME activity distinguishes itself from the other potential educational activities by the fact that its quality has been confirmed by an impartial board of specialists widely recognised in the field of pneumology.

EBAP-accredited events and activities are promoted through EBAP's website, as well as through monthly advertisments in the European Respiratory Journal and Breathe.

Accreditation process and guidelines

Guidelines for CME providers in pneumology have recently been revised by the Management Council and address the following issues:

1. Assessment of educational needs
2. Eligibility of educational products and application for accreditation
3. Requirements for different educational products
4. Provider credentials
5. Commercial interest
6. Accreditation of educational products
7. Awards of credits to learners
8. Fee scales

The associated pdf is designed to provide all the necessary information for CME providers in the field of pneumology.
