The first comprehensive guide to pharmaceutical regulations and continuing medical education, “The Red Book forMedical Meetings,” has been launched and is now available for an annual subscription.
“The
Red Book for Medical Meetings” has been developed by the
Society for Worldwide Medical Exchange (SWME) and endorsed by the
Rome CME-CPD Group, the international body of experts working to
harmonize continuing medical education (CME) systems and
facilitate international reciprocity of CME credits.
After
nearly two years of research, SWME announces the completion of the
guide, which offers detailed pharmaceutical regulation and continuing
medical education (CME) information for over 100 countries. SWME
aims to help medical meeting planners, CME providers and academic
institutions ensure meeting compliance and offer internationally
accredited programs. The research may also benefit
organizations working to improve health care in developing
countries through CME, such as the World
Health Organization.
“’The
Red Book for Medical Meetings’ simplifies complex
international regulations and compiles them into a single, easily
accessible, format. This will help educators understand the various
requirements in each country and foster greater transparency within
the industry,” said Rome CME-CPD Group Secretary General, Alfonso
Negri.
“The
Red Book for Medical Meetings” will be available for an
annual subscription in print and online. For more information log on
