Brand-new e-learning modules (ELMs): up to 11 European CME credits (ECMECs)!

A series of WebSurg e-learning modules (ELMs) in laparoscopic general surgery (inguinal hernia repair surgery, laparoscopic adrenalectomy, laparoscopic cholecystectomy) have been accredited by the EUMS-EACCME (European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education). Some of these e-learning modules are part of the Hernia Basecamp available on WebSurg.

This ensures the recognition of the credits acquired via the platform, at a European level. Agreements with the “American Medical Association” (AMA) allow to convert the ECMEC credits to AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. This accreditation certifies the educational content’s quality and the relevance of the surgical content.
