22nd Annual Congress in Vienna, Austria

The European Society of Intensive Care Medicine is organizing its 22nd Annual Congress in Vienna, Austria from Sunday 11 until Wednesday 14 October 2009.

This congress will be one of the major intensive care meetings taking place in 2009. It will feature 10 parallel sessions including over 500 lectures, presentations, debates, round table discussions, tutorials and interactive educational sessions.

Invited speakers are all well-known international experts in their field, and we anticipate having a faculty of over 200 that will participate with us.

Presentation of original research is one of the priorities of this series of congresses and we anticipate that there will be almost 1000 oral and poster presentations of unpublished research. This combination of thematic presentations, education and discussion and debate of new data is an intoxicating mixture that will make the congress an event which should not be missed.

Continuing Medical Education / EACCME The 22nd ESICM Annual Congress will be 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). The EACCME will granted European CME credits (ECMEC) to the Congress.

Each medical specialist should claim only hours of credit that he/she actually spent in the educational activity. EACCME credits are recognised by the American Medical Association towards the Physician's Recognition Award (PRA). To convert EACCME credit to AMA PRA Category 1 credit, contact the AMA.
