eCME Electronic Continuous Medical Education

The eCME aims to create an electronic Continuous Medical Education system that will aid the simple and cost-effective transfer of medical skills across Europe by proposing a unified pan-European mechanism of accreditation for CME courses, as eCME will attempt to render the award of electronic CME credits an integral part of the service. The results of the project are expected to have a significant impact in the established practices of continuing vocational training of medical professionals, enabling them to maintain, develop and increase their knowledge, skills and professional performance, with subsequent benefits to the services they offer to their patients. The project will also address the social aspect of CME, with content supplements dealing with the needs of patients and their families.
