Remember…
• “Satellite symposia” (unaccredited group learning activities) must:

International Accreditation Agreements
AMA PRA Category 1 credit™Accredited NSSs may award for their own:
– Live group learning activities held in Canada and web-based (which // face-to-face activities)
– University Offices = CACME agreement– Accreditation statement, annual report– New agreement January 1, 2013.
European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS) ECMEC – Live group learning activities in Canada– EU physicians convert (MOC) Section 1 to European

International Accreditation Agreements
Substantive Equivalency– Accreditation Council on Continuing Medical
Education (ACCME) recognized the Royal College’s CPD accreditation system as substantively equivalent.
– Activities developed by ACCME accredited physician organizations do not need to be reviewed for MOC Section 1 Credits.
Remember…– All self-assessment programs (SAPs) must be
reviewed by an accredited CPD provider for MOC Section 3 Credits
