EXCEL Continuing Education is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
EXCEL Continuing Education designates this live activity for a maximum of 1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
Canadian CME: Through an agreement between the ACCME and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, medical practitioners participating in the Royal College MOC Program may record completion of accredited activities registered under the ACCME’s “CME in Support of MOC” program in Section 3 of the Royal College’s MOC Program.
The UEMS-EACCME®: European Union of Medical Specialists and European Accreditation Council for CME have mutual recognition agreements with the American Medical Association for live events and e-learning materials. European physicians can earn their ECMEC®s (European CME credits) by either attending a live presentation approved by an ACCME accredited provider such as EXCEL or participating in e-learning activities (on-demand webcasts) from accredited providers from the USA that have been certified for AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.
Nursing CEUs: This activity is designated for 1.5 contact hours. Note: Nurse practitioners can apply for AMA PRA Cat. 1 Credit™ through the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP). AANP will accept AMA PRA Cat. 1 Credit™ from ACCME accredited organizations. Nurse practitioners can also apply for credit through their state boards.
