The UEMS-EACCME sets itself as the central link between the National Accreditation Authorities, the UEMS Specialist Sections and Boards, the European Specialty Accreditation Boards and the Providers of CME activities.
However, the UEMS-EACCME cannot review itself and guarantee the quality of the CME accredited activities. In order to guarantee an independent assessment of educational projects and to warrant sufficient control mechanisms for European scientific standards, EAACI has initiated collaboration between the EAACI’s CME Accreditation Committee, the UEMS Allergology Section and Board, and EACCME. This collaboration has resulted in the implementation of EBAACI (European Board of Accreditation in Allergy and Clinical Immunology).
EBAACI ensures the assessment of a CME programme's scientific quality by a board of European experts in the fields of allergy and clinical immunology. EBAACI reviews all applications for European CME credits in this field. The assessment certifies that the CME activity has a high quality scientific content and appropriate didactic approach, is free of commercial bias and that the CME provider fulfils the EBAACI quality requirements.
The maximum number of European CME credits (ECMECs) that may be claimed by a learner must be a minimum of one educational hour, with each hour of educational time expected to count as one ECMEC, up to a maximum of 3 ECMECs for a half day and 6 ECMECs for a full day.
