CME Courses

The EPA CME Congress Course programme was launched in 2002 during the 11th European Congress of Psychiatry in Stockholm and is tailored for mental health professionals interested in accessing continuing medical training and international education programmes about new scientific data and new medical techniques that are essential for their daily practice.

The EPA Congress CME courses are accredited courses of 180-minute sessions that have been designed to emphasise learning experiences that actively involve participants and include an opportunity for informal exchange with the faculty.

The content of the course programme is designed by the EPA Committee on Education, which assures a continuous evaluation of the educational quality of provided courses using peer reviews and participant surveys. All Congresss Courses are accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (UEMS-EACCME).

EPA CME Courses for EPA 2025

EPA CME Courses are included every year in the Scientific Programme of the EPA European Congress of Psychiatry. The 33rd European Congress of Psychiatry will take place on 5-8 April 2025 in Madrid, Spain. The list of EPA Courses is available on the Congress website.

EPA Courses Guidelines

In order to harmonise the quality of the EPA Courses, EPA Guidelines were developed by the EPA Committee on Education together with the EPA faculty. The Guidelines cover the key points of organisation of an EPA Course, including submission of a course proposal, selection criteria, course format and methods, evaluation system, etc.
