CME Credits Now Available for ESA Webinar Series on Antimicrobial Stewardship

To celebrate World Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Awareness Week #WAAW, the ESA is making CME credits available for the webinar series “Antimicrobial stewardship, a role for biomarkers”.

The webinars took place on 16, 26 October and 9 November (more information via the button below), but if you have missed them, recordings will be available for the next six months and you will still be able to request CME credits. In order to request your CME credits, you must have either attended live or watched the recording of all three webinars. To watch the recordings, please register here and then access the recordings via the button below. Afterwards, please follow this procedure:

  1. Download the CME certificate request form.

  2. Download the EACCME® participant’s evaluation form.

  3. Fill both documents and send them together to esa@global-sepsis-alliance.org

  4. The ESA Secretariat will do technical checks to verify that you have attended the webinars and will send you back the CME certification for all three webinars.


Each of the three webinars have been accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®) with 1.5 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 CreditsTM. Information on the process to convert EACCME® credit to AMA credit can be found at https://edhub.ama-assn.org/pages/applications.

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.

Information regarding the conversion of EACCME® credits

Credit will be converted based on one (1) hour of participation equalling one credit for all activities. Physicians wishing to convert EACCME® credits to AMA PRA Category 1 CreditTM will be required to access the AMA website at https://edhub.ama- assn.org/pages/applictations to obtain the necessary paperwork and instructions. Physicians and other health care professionals will be required to pay a processing fee to the AMA.

For other countries, please contact the relevant national/regional accreditation authority.
