General
EU-ACME Programme
The EU-ACME Programme - the initiative resulting
from a close collaboration between the European
Board of Urology (EBU) and the European Association
of Urology (EAU) - stands for European Urology -
Accredited Continuing Medical Education. Its primary
task is assistance in the implementation, promotion
and organization of Continuing Medical Education
(CME) and Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
among European urologists. Urologists have access to
an online system - in compliance with the EBU/UEMS
regulations - which helps them to keep track of their
educational activities, irrespective of the country they
practice in or where they have participated in
accredited CME/CPD activities.
CME/CPD activities are generally geared towards
practising physicians and are designed to provide
information that is both relevant and essential to
medical practice.
The EU-ACME office acts as a central ‘institution’
where all information forwarded by urologists, (inter)
national urological associations and CME organisers/
providers is kept.
As a service institution the EU-ACME office offers:
• registration of credit points for members of the
urological society participating in the EU ACME
programme,
• access to the online CME/CPD credit system via
webpage www.eu-acme.org,
• the EU ACME membership card for urologist participating
in the programme,
• yearly Credit Registry Report listing all collected
CME/CPD credit points,
• registration of accredited on national and/or
European level CME events,
• assistance in obtaining European Accreditation.
