The ESAIC Academy is accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME) to provide CME activity for medical specialists.
The EACCME is an institution of the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS). Through an agreement between the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS) and the American Medical Association (AMA), physicians may convert EACCME credits to an equivalent number of AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM.

The credits for the users of the modules available in the ESAIC Academy will be 1 European CME credit (ECMEC®) for every hour (60 minutes of actual e-learning) of use, provided that the users have completed a module and have passed the relevant assessment.
- Touch hot topics including existing/near-future Guidelines
- Provide cutting-edge transdisciplinary scientific content
- Cover subjects that are of concern in routine clinical practice, are based on solid evidence and could benefit a large number of patients (e.g. protective ventilation, management of failed regional anaesthesia, management of hypnotic-opioids interactions, etc.)
All ESAIC Webinars have a duration of 60 minutes and include scientific contributions from 2 to 3 speakers chaired by a Host. Webinars also boast Polls, to increase interactivity and engagement, and Q&A sessions to answer questions submitted by the audience (in real time).
Both Webinars and Webinar replays enable learners to earn European CME Credits (ECMEC®s).
The UEMS/EACCME diploma can be downloaded only if learners spent the required minimum time on the LIVE event/module (1 hr for 1 ECMEC® credit) and reached the related pass rate (applicable to Webinar replays only).
- Questions and quizzes to stimulate reflective learning
- Assessments to test learning and to provide a motivation to retain the information that is given
- Case-based learning to illustrate what is being taught
- Problem-solving clinical settings
- Videos and infographics
Being aware of the cognitive overload in eLearning, the ESAIC eLearning modules are divided into small and concise sections so that the motivation for learners to progress through a module is improved.
A broader range of media have been integrated to make the modules even more interesting and varied.
The knowledge of learners can be tested at the end of the module.
The UEMS/EACCME diploma can be downloaded only if learners have spent the required minimum time on the module (1 hr for 1 ECMEC® credit) and reached the related pass rate.

- How to calculate your own individual carbon footprint for each patient but also their department carbon footprint
- How to make the best decision for your patients and for the enviroment
Healthcare carbon footprint in the EU is about 4.5% of the total emissions. Our clinical actions during perioperative care have consequences. Therefore, making informed choices about our anaesthetic plan is paramount for both patient and planet’s health.

- About latest trends, research, data and articles related to procedural sedation in adults
- About latest trends, research, data and articles related to procedural sedation in children
- To re-evaluate our old dogmas to provide patients with the best clinical care
Procedural sedation facilitates the safe performance of procedures that a patient cannot tolerate in a state of full consciousness while maintaining the patient’s safety. This educational activity will help you learn more about the latest information and recommendations regarding procedural sedation in adults and children.

- To understand the rationale and scientific theory and the current knowledge on the topic
- How to apply the principals and techniques for the different surgical indications and types of cancer
- To determine the benefits of regional anaesthesia for this type of pathology and that it may affect the risk of recurrence
This educational activity is aimed at clarifying whether regional anesthesia may help to prevent and/or reduce the risk of cancer recurrence by reducing the need for opioids or volatile anesthetics, or reducing the stress response to surgery and giving an update on recent literature.
