The Frozen Tissue Collection and Biobanking, Graz, Austria, 15/11/2022- 15/11/2022 has been accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®) with 2 European CME credits (ECMEC®s). Each medical specialist should claim only those hours of credit that he/she actually spent in the educational activity.

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.

Live educational activities, occurring outside of Canada, recognised 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.

According to UEMS regulations, attendees can only claim CME credits if they have attended the entire live educational webinar. They can only receive the number of ECMEC®s corresponding to their actual attendance. Participants will be able to receive their accredited certificate once they have returned the feedback form. As part of this process participants’ attendance will be monitored throughout the event. Only live-viewing can be accredited.

The participants’ feedback forms will be distributed in the chat during the webinar. The completed Microsoft Office feedback form needs to be submitted digitally within 5 days.

Participants will then receive their EACCME® certificates via the following email address: office@bbmri-eric.eu

Focus and learning objectives

After watching the webinar, participants have obtained knowledge on:

• The importance of sample quality and the influence the quality can have on medical research and innovation of medical care worldwide
• The difference in quality between fresh frozen tissue and FFPE tissue
• How to standardize, control and document the workflow to obtain high quality frozen tissue samples
• The need for standardization during sample collection for translational research
• What is the sample pre-analytical phase
• How variations are introduced during the pre-analytical phase when collecting samples
• How biobanking infrastructure can contribute to increase reproducibility
• How biobanking standardization of protocols and ISO accreditation can contribute to increase reproducibility
• What instruments are available to control sample quality
• How documentation of variations in the pre-analytical phase can be used to control sample quality and fit for purpose use of samples
• The importance of multidisciplinary study teams  for reproducible results
