12th Annual Meeting of the Mediterranean Society for Reproductive Medicine (MSRM) 2014

The Mediter­ranean Soci­ety for Repro­duc­tive Med­i­cine is a sci­en­tific soci­ety work­ing in the field of Human Repro­duc­tion, and mainly devoted to education.The Soci­ety is ded­i­cated to the study of all aspects of Repro­duc­tive Med­i­cine includ­ing the pro­mo­tion of sci­ence and research in all aspects of human repro­duc­tion, the under­stand­ing of evidence-​based prac­tice between clin­i­cians and the enhance­ment of com­mu­ni­ca­tion between sci­en­tists inter­ested in these subjects.

The COGI Con­gress was estab­lished to enable physi­cians to meet with out­stand­ing experts in all Ob/​Gyn fields, and be updated on the most press­ing clin­i­cal ques­tions and con­tro­ver­sies in the field today. The goal of the COGI Con­gress is to reach actual and agreed-​upon answers to some of these con­tro­ver­sies, through evidence-​based medicine.

The MSRM Soci­ety & the COGI Con­gress are thrilled to join forces in order to pro­mote excel­lence in the field and aim to bridge gaps between the expan­sion of infor­ma­tion and its imple­men­ta­tion in clin­i­cal prac­tice. Inter­na­tional and local experts will share and com­pare expe­ri­ences in stim­u­lat­ing and inter­ac­tive debates. Allow­ing ample time for speaker-​audience dis­cus­sion, the Con­gress aims at reach­ing up-​to-​date and agreed-​upon answers to ongo­ing debates even when proof is lack­ing, through evidence-​based med­i­cine and expert opinion.

The Con­gress will enable par­tic­i­pants from all over the world to meet with out­stand­ing world experts in var­i­ous dis­ci­plines and to be updated on the most press­ing issues fac­ing clin­i­cians today.

MSRM and the COGI has sub­mit­ted for CME accred­i­ta­tion via the Euro­pean Accred­i­ta­tion Coun­cil for Con­tin­u­ing Med­ical Edu­ca­tion (EAC­CME). The accred­i­ta­tion will be in com­pli­ance with EBU/​UEMS reg­u­la­tions — 1 credit per hour, with a max­i­mum of 6 cred­its per day. Both the EBU and the EAC­CME are the insti­tu­tions of the Euro­pean Union of Med­ical Spe­cial­ists (UEMS).

All CME events accred­ited by the EBU have the EAC­CME endorse­ment. The EBU/​EACCME CME Cred­its are rec­og­nized by National Accred­i­ta­tion Authorities.

Each med­ical spe­cial­ist should claim only those hours of credit that he/​she actu­ally spent in the edu­ca­tional activity.

All CME activ­i­ties approved by the EBU/​EACCME are valid for recog­ni­tion by the Amer­i­can Med­ical Asso­ci­a­tion towards the Physician’s Recog­ni­tion Award (PRA). To con­vert EAC­CME credit to AMA PRA cat­e­gory 1 credit, con­tact the AMA.

The accred­i­ta­tion is in com­pli­ance with EBU/​UEMS reg­u­la­tions — 1 credit per hour, with a max­i­mum of 6 cred­its per day.
