EBAC online accreditation services

EBAC

accredits continuing education in the health professions, i.e. physicians, nurses, allied professions, and teams (interprofessional CE).
endorses, and accredits according to the International Academy for CPD Accreditation (IACPDA) Standards for Substantive Equivalency between CPD/CME Accreditation Systems.

EBAC accredits

live educational events as well as all types of enduring materials, and e-learning (incl. micro e-learning), for more information please visit the EBAC website.
international educational activities (except live educational activities in the USA and Canada).
national activities for which international participation can be expected. Since EBAC accreditation is not competitive, but rather subsidiary to accreditation by national accreditation systems, applying in parallel for national accreditation maybe necessary to meet the needs of native participants (mandatory for Germany, Austria, Switzerland).
national activities in case that there is no national accreditation system in place.
sponsored activities, which comply with the IACPDA Consensus Statement for Independence and Funding of CME/CPD.
educational activities before they have started/ been launched online. With this regard EBAC recommends to have an application fully completed 6 weeks prior to when the activity is going to start.

EBAC accepts applications from organizers of accredited education/ providers, who are a legal entity and not under the influence of commercial interests (according to the IACPDA definition) and for which a scientific Course Director has been appointed.
We offer either activity accreditation or provider accreditation, for more details please visit the documents library on the EBAC website.

USA: EBAC holds an agreement on mutual recognition of substantial equivalency with the Accreditation Council of CME (ACCME) and converts certificates for live educational events in the US, issued by ACCME accredited providers to European participants, in EBAC certificates (on request of the participants). Through an agreement between EBAC and the American Medical Association, physicians may convert EBAC External CME credits to AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Information on the process to convert EBAC credit to AMA credit can be found on the AMA website. Other health care professionals may obtain from the AMA a certificate of having participated in an activity eligible for conversion of credit to AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™.
Canada: EBAC holds an agreement on mutual recognition of accreditation systems as well as on CME credit conversion (for live events) with the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.
