The ISN World Congress of Nephrology, taking place in New Delhi, India, from February 6th to 9th, 2025, has applied for accreditation from the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®). The accreditation status will be updated on this page once we receive the notification. Through an agreement between the Union Européenne des Médecins Spécialistes and the American Medical Association, physicians may convert EACCME® credits to an equivalent number of AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM. Information on the process to convert EACCME® credit to AMA credit can be found at www.ama-assn.org/education/earn-credit-participation-international-activities.
