Recordings, Certificates, and CME Credits for the 2024 World Sepsis Congress Spotlight

Dear Congress participants,

First of all, we would like to thank each of you for being part of the 2024 World Sepsis Congress Spotlight that the Global Sepsis Alliance (GSA) convened on April 23 in partnership with the Physician-Patient Alliance for Health & Safety (PPAHS).

We were delighted to have over 12,000 registered participants from more than 180 countries worldwide and honored by 55 prominent policymakers, researchers, and practitioners in the field of sepsis as the moderators and speakers of the event.

Support from the Director-General of the World Health Organization in his official address to the Congress participants reassures that we are building strong momentum for taking the global fight against sepsis to the next level.

We look forward to finalizing the 2030 Global Agenda for Sepsis as our future framework of action on making sepsis the next success story of Global Health and reducing the immense human suffering from this medical emergency.  

We would like to confirm the schedule when you will be able to receive the Certificates of Attendance and the Certificates with official CME Credits for the event.

Certificates of Attendance

Your Certificates of Attendance will also be available on May 7 and you may obtain the document immediately.

Kindly note that the Certificates of Attendance will not include CME credits, as the CME accreditation requires additional time for relevant procedures. If you are interested in CME credits, please read the following section. 

CME Credits

Our partner organization – the Physician-Patient Alliance for Health & Safety – has already started official procedures for CME accreditation of the scientific sessions.

We are also delighted to note that thanks to the efforts of the PPAHS, CME credits for the 2024 World Sepsis Congress Spotlight will be issued free of charge. PPAHS would like to thank Inflammatix, Inc. for their unrestricted educational grant. Because of grants from Inflammatix and others, PPAHS can provide quality clinical educational content and offer CME for these courses for free.

The accreditation process is expected to be completed in 4 to 6 weeks and your certificates of the CME Credits will accordingly be available in late May or early June. 

Once the accreditation process is complete, the PPAHS will post the recordings of the sessions for CME accreditation to their official website.

Kindly note that even if you have attended session(s) of the WSC Spotlight or watched/listened to them on YouTube or as a podcast, to obtain CME credits, you must review the recordings of all relevant CME-accredited sessions of the 2024 WSC Spotlight through the official webpage of the PPAHS.
