Information regarding the conversion of EACCME® credits
Credit will be converted based on one (1) hour of participation equalling one credit for all activities.

MedTech
The Workshop "Craniofacial basic and advanced techniques 2" has been assessed fully COMPLIANT by the CSV - Conference Vetting System for Ethical MedTech & EFPIA Compliance. Find the link to the assessment here.
The Conference Vetting System (CVS) is a unique initiative in the healthcare industry. It is a centralised decision-making system that encourages transparency and consistency in medical education events and alleviates the complex administrative burden previously faced by MedTech Europe and Mecomed members, who were constrained to make their own determinations on whether or not a third-party educational event they wished to provide support to was compliant with the associations’ respective Codes.
CVS is an independently managed system which reviews the compliance of third-party educational events with Medtech Europe Code of Ethical Business Practice and Mecomed Code of Business Practice (the “Codes”) to determine the appropriateness for companies which are members of MedTech Europe and Mecomed to provide support to such events in the form of educational grants or commercial activities (booths, advertising, satellite symposium).
