Accreditation statement
The 9th McMaster International Review Course in Internal Medicine (MIRCIM 2024 with EFIM and ISIM Sessions), Kraków, Poland, 9-11 May 2024, has been accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®) with 22.0 European CME credits (ECMEC®s). Each medical specialist should claim only those hours of credit that they actually spent in the educational activity.
Through an agreement between the European Union of Medical Specialists 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 https://edhub.ama-assn.org/pages/applications.
Live educational activities occurring outside of Canada and recognized by the UEMS-EACCME® for ECMEC®s are deemed to be Accredited Group Learning Activities (Section 1) as defined by the Maintenance of Certification Program of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.
CME credits
Each participant can only receive the number of credits they are entitled to according to their actual participation in the event once they have completed the feedback form.
The breakdown of ECMEC®s per day:
|
|
|
|---|---|
| May 9, 2024 | 8.0 |
| May 10, 2024 | 7.0 |
| May 11, 2024 | 7.0 |
What’s new this year is that participants are entitled to claim their CME credits even if they watch the recordings after the event, just like participants of the live event. You can report and claim your credits during the 6 months following the event.
The credits are granted, as for the live event, on the basis of actual participation, that is, how many hours of CME the participants have viewed.
The maximum number of credits granted for watching the recordings will be the same as for the live event and cannot exceed this number whatever the number of sessions attended or viewed. A participant may not obtain credits for participating at the live event and watching the same sessions as recordings.
Certificates of attendance
Participants are entitled to up to 22 European ECMEC®s for participating in the course (in-person or virtually, within the 6-month period following the event).
Certificates of attendance with CME credits will be issued to participants who complete an online evaluation and feedback form (available from May 11). The certificate will be sent as a PDF file to the email address provided during registration.
MIRCIM mobile app
Connect with a global medical community, quickly look up the program, receive updates, network with leading experts and fellow attendees, and ask questions during live sessions—all via the official course mobile app! Download the MIRCIM app from Google Play or App Store and create your account.

Course pack for participants
Handouts with speakers’ presentations and practical information in the form of a course pack will be available as a PDF file by May 9, 2024.

By car
For tips concerning travelling by car, see the Kraków Travel website: krakow.travel/en.
With limited parking and much of the Old Town being a car-free zone, driving in Kraków will be more of a hindrance than a help. What’s more, most tourist attractions are in the Old Town or within easy walking distance, so you won’t need a car, buses, or trams unless you’re staying outside the center.
Free public transport for MIRCIM participants
All conference participants are entitled to free travel on public transportation, including trams and buses, by simply presenting their conference badge. This service is provided in partnership with MPK Kraków (www.mpk.krakow.pl/en). Your conference badge will include a holographic sticker for validation. Please ensure you carry your badge with you at all times to present during ticket inspections. Enjoy convenient and cost-free travel throughout the conference period.
Kraków is served by an efficient network of trams and buses that run between 5AM and 11PM.
