Benefits of accreditation
An increasing number of European countries are running Continuing Medical Education (CME) systems for physicians, some of which are mandatory. As a result, doctors are more inclined to attend accredited events that offer CME credits recognised by their respective National Accreditation Authorities.
Accredited CME activities stand out from other educational offerings because their quality is validated by an impartial board of specialists, widely acknowledged in the field of pneumology.
Events and activities accredited by EBAP are promoted via the EBAP website, as well as through advertisements in the European Respiratory Journal and Breathe.
