Antimicrobial Stewardship – A Role for Biomarkers

The European Sepsis Alliance hosted a series of three webinars on 16 and 26 October and 9 November on the challenges and solutions of antimicrobial stewardship, with the aim to raise awareness on antibiotic surveillance and the role of biomarkers to limit the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. 

ECMEC credits (CME) are now available for a total number of 4,5. To request them, you must have attended all three sessions or have watched all recordings. A registration is still required via the form below.

In order to request your CME credits, you must have either attended live or watched the recordings of all three webinars. To watch the recordings, please register via the form and then access the recordings via the button below. Afterwards, please follow this procedure:

  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.

For any questions, please contact the ESA office at esa@global-sepsis-alliance.org.

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.
