All participants receive a satisfaction survey on Monday, 8 March 2021 by email. Once the survey is completed, a certificate of attendance will automatically be issued and sent by email to the participant.

The certificate of attendance includes the following information regarding the Credits for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME):

The 5^th Congress of the Swiss Academy of Ophthalmology (SAoO 2021 Virtual), Online, 03/03/2021-05/03/2021, has been accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®) with 16 European CME credits (ECMEC®s). Each medical specialist should claim only those hours of credit that he/she actually spent in the educational activity. The ECMEC®s are awarded on the basis of 1 ECMEC® for one hour (60 minutes) of educational activity with a maximum of 8 ECMEC®s per day.

The Swiss Society of Ophthalmology (SSO) and SIWF recognise the credits awarded by the EACCME.

Accreditation by the EACCME means that the CME/CPD activity provided is of high scientific value, is free of commercial bias and promotes active adult learning.
