Global Accreditation Transfer
As a Joint Accreditation Providers, Decera Clinical Education is proud to offer accredited continuing education to eligible healthcare professionals worldwide.

Decera Clinical Education adheres to Joint Accreditation standards for all domestic and international activities. International learners participating in our U.S. based accredited activities may be eligible to earn credit, Based on agreements between their home country and the American Medical Association (AMA).

For Decera Clinical Education activities held outside of the U.S., international learners are awarded AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ and U.S. healthcare professionals may earn their corresponding U.S. credit.

Learners in countries covered by formal AMA agreements, such as UEMS in Europe, may be able to convert AMA credit to their local credit system when the activity is held outside of their region.

Important Notes:

    • European physicians may convert AMA credit to ECMEC®s for activities held outside of Europe
    • U.S. physicians may convert ECMEC®s to AMA credit for activities held outside of the U.S.
    • Credit conversion is typically not available when the activity is held within the learner’s own region (e.g., AMA credit from an activity in Europe usually cannot be converted to ECMEC®s)

Example: A French physician attending an AMA-designated activity in France may claim AMA credit but cannot convert it to ECMEC®s. If attending the same activity in the U.S., the credit may be converted to ECMEC®s under the AMA-UEMS agreement.

Note: The agreement between the UEMS and the AMA is the only one that offers mutual recognition. International agreements between the AMA and other credit systems may or may not recognize and/or accept AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™.

European Board for Accreditation of Continuing Education for Health Professionals (EBAC®)

Under this agreement, EBAC may convert certificates for live educational events held in the U.S., when those events are certified for credit by an ACCME accredited provider, into EBAC certificates upon request from European participants.

Other health care professionals may request from the AMA a certificate of participation for activities eligible for conversion of EBAC credit to AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™.
