The European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) in cooperation with the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) and the European Society for Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology (ESGAR) are co-organising a Professional Trainee Course that will be held on June 7 and 8, 2012 in Paris, France.

This two day course will focus on “Interventions in Liver Disease” and will be held in two different institutions: Hospital Beaujon and Hospital Paul-Brousse. The conference will be co-chaired by Dr Laurent Castera and Prof. Didier Samuel.

This course is being endorsed and supported by the United European Gastroenterology Federation (UEGF) as part of UEGF “Intersociety Activity Course (ISAC)” project.

The ‘Intersociety Activity Course on Interventions in Liver Disease’ is accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME) to provide the following CME activity for medical specialists. The EACCME is an institution of the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS), www.uems.net.

The ‘Intersociety Activity Course on Interventions in Liver Disease’ is designated for a maximum of (or «for up to») 12 hours of European external CME credits. Each medical specialist should claim only those hours of credit that he/she actually spent in the educational activity.

Through an agreement between the European Union of Medical Specialists and the American Medical Association, physicians may convert EACCME credits to an equivalent number of AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. 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, recognized by the UEMS-EACCME for ECMEC credits 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.
