In view of coexisting CME accreditation systems in Spain, we conclude that a common approach is needed. We recommend establishing formal relationships with American and European systems to ensure consistent accreditation and mutual recognition of CME credits and improvement in accreditation. Lessons for Practice Like many other European countries, CME accreditation in Spain is a relatively new area of professional interest. To ensure confidence in a national CME accreditation system, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health are working with the Spanish Medical Association to create a reliable system. It is important to work with the American Medical Association and the Union Européenne des Médecins Spécialistes to achieve mutual recognition of credits.
