Participants will receive a certificate of participation approved by the Romanian College of Physicians and EMC credits.
According to decision 12/2018 of the CMR, which entered into force on August 21, 2018, only CMR member physicians who have concluded a contract with the Romanian College of Physicians for the year 2024 receive certificates of participation with EMC points. The personal data sent to the Romanian College of Physicians for the validation of credits is mandatory. This data includes the name and surname, medical specialty, professional degree, place of work, locality, and CUIM (Unique Physician Identification Code issued by the Romanian College of Physicians, consisting of 10 digits from the medical license - not to be confused with the CNP or initial code). All other categories of participants receive only the certificate of participation without credits. We want to inform resident physicians in the second specialty who register for the congress that they can benefit from EMC points only if they are registered for the congress as a specialist physician in the first specialty.
