Certification:

The WMS Congress 2017, Saint Malo, France, 03/10/2017-07/10/2017 has been accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®) with 20 European CME credits (ECMEC®s). Each medical specialist should claim only those hours of credit that he/she
actually spent in the educational activity.

Through an agreement between the Union Européenne des Médecins Spécialistes and the American Medical Association, physicians may convert EACCME® credits to an equivalent number of AMA PRA Category 1 Credits TM. Information on the process to convert EACCME® credit to AMA credit can be
found at www.ama-assn.org/go/internationalcme .

Live educational activities, occurring outside of Canada, recognised by the UEMS-EACCME® for ECMEC®s are deemed to be Accredited Group Learning Activities (Section 1) as defined by the Maintenance of Certification Program of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.

Attendees are required to complete session surveys (via the app or email link) and the overall congress evaluation (via the app or email link) in order to receive a certificate of attendance. Certificates will be sent by email approximately 3 weeks after the congress. Paper copies of the overall congress evaluation are available from the registration desk for those not able to use the app or email links. You will remain anonymous in the evaluation summary provided to the WMS Committee after the congress.

Industry Registrations:

Except for separate arrangements with congress sponsors please note that there is a maximum of 3 registrations per industry/third party/VC organisation. It is the responsibility of each organisation to manage this globally. If you can see your organisation is a confirmed sponsor on our SPONSORS PAGE but you are not sure who the global coordinator is please contact finance(at)wms2017.com. Please note that these Industry Registrations do not qualify for WMS membership the following year.

All applicants will need to provide a short profile about why they would like to attend the congress during the registration process. This will be taken in to account when the committee review the submissions. The applicants must be able to demonstrate their scientific and clinical contribution to the congress.

It is not possible to block 3 spaces and confirm names later. All names received by 1st August 2017 will be confirmed as final. Each organisation can make up to 1 name change per 3 places before this date. Please note that a name change also requires approval of the applicant’s contribution to the congress.

Agency Registrations

If you are an Agency registering a delegate or group of delegates on their behalf please make sure the organisation they represent is entered into the address fields on the registration form rather than your agency address. Please also make sure it is mentioned in the profile you enter for each attendee. If this information is not provided it may delay the review of the application for registration.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
