The European Human Genetics Conference, as in previous year, will be seeking accreditation from the European Accreditation Council of Continuing Medical Education. In order to provide its participants with the possibility of obtaining CME credits at the conference.
In previous year the ESHG Conference was awarded with an approximate amount of 27 CME credits. In order to obtain the credits, pertaining to each day, participants will be requested to scan their badges daily at the General Information Desk. After the congress, a survey will be sent out to all participants and those seeking CME credits will have to complete the survey in order to download their certificate of attendance including the CME credits obtained during the conference.
Please note that if you do not scan your badge on any given day the ESHG Conference will not be able to provide you with the credits of that day.
