More than 18,000 medical professionals from across Europe and beyond are part of the EU-ACME programme. Yet in 2024, only 43% actively collected CME, CNE, or CPD credit points.
The Credit Registry Report includes both automatically processed credits from accredited activities and those submitted manually via the online system. Every submitted activity is carefully reviewed and validated by the EU-ACME/CNE office to ensure accuracy and compliance.
Continuing Medical Education (CME), Continuing Nursing Education (CNE) and Professional Development (CDP) consist of educational activities, which serve to maintain and increase the knowledge and develop skills of medical professionals.
Now is the time to act.
Deadline: 31 January 2025 — make sure your credits count.
Within the CME/CNE/CPD credit system, a number of units, commonly called credits, are applied to all approved CME/CNE/CPD activities. The number of credits attributed to the activities depends on the kind of activity.
The EBU CME/CPD credit system
The EBU CME/CPD credit system defines the number of credits considered the minimum necessary for adequate training and experience as a specialist for a period of five years. This is determined by the EBU Accreditation Committee.
In 2019, the CME/CPD credit system was updated, giving CME and CPD more equal importance. The new regulations have been valid since 1 January 2020.
It is recommended to collect a minimum of 200 credits in five years.
The European Board of Paediatric Urology (EBPU) regulations
The European Board of Paediatric Urology (EBPU) regulations define the number of credits considered the minimum necessary for adequate training and experience as a specialist in paediatric urology for a period of five years.
Currently a total of 250 credits within these 5 years is necessary with 125 out of these pure paediatric urology.
