The core objective of the Academy is to advance excellence in clinical care, research, education, and training in the fields of Dermatology and Venereology. The aims of the EADV are essentially realised through its Congresses and Symposia, the publication of its official scientific journal, the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (JEADV), and provision of CME accreditation.

EADV also supports the maintenance and enhancement of high standards in professions related to Dermatology and Venereology and public health services and other professions or practices that the Academy may from time to time consider relevant, and acts as the advocate and educator of patients with cutaneous or venereal diseases.

How to become a member

Continuing Medical Education (CME)
The Congress is accredited by the European Medical Association (UEMS) in Brussels. Participants requesting EADV CME are required to fill out CME forms distributed at each session in the main scientific programme and identify themselves by adding their name and their congress registration number (which will be printed on the badge) correctly and legibly on each form. Please check at the EADV CME Checkpoint that your mailing address to which the certificate will be sent, approximately 3 months after the congress, is complete and correct. Please notify the national authority in the country where you practice about your CME status from this event by sending a copy of the certificate. The national authority is responsible for how UEMS points are attributed nationally. UEMS accreditation includes a charter recognised by the American Medical Association and the American Accreditation Council.

All participants are requested to evaluate sessions on this section of the CME form. This serves as an instrument to make the EADV Congresses better and provides CME quality control.
