Continuing medical education or CME has become integral part for the carreer devolopment of doctors all around the world. For some countries it is even obligatory, but even for those where it is not, the response from the doctors when there is an opportunity for them to build on their knowledge is immense. And when all this is presented to them in a convenient and time-efficient manner, they are even more inclined to undergo trainings of all sorts.

eCMEs that award offcial accreditation are usually initiated by professional bodies and associations with regulatory powers and are led by habilitated professors. They can be carried out either on regional or national level. They can also be focussed either on one specialty, or be multidisciplinary.
