ABTS Convention Services (ABTS), a housing, registration and corporate travel provider specializing in supporting and increasing Association’s international attendees, announced the appointing of Dr. Alfonso Negri to lead the company’s continuing medical education services.
“We are honored to welcome Dr. Negri, a ‘guru’ on accreditation to help us open the door for our Association clients and facilitate their accreditation in the E.U.” said Davide Veglia, ABTS President.
“Dr. Negri has been involved in the complex evolution of CME in both the E.U and the U.S. since 1999, and not only founded the system in Italy, but has closely watched the development follow European paths.”
Dr. Negri is a Medical Foreign Committee Member of Italian Federation of Medical Societies and a founder of the first accredited event in Italy, the National Pneumology Congress, a landmark in CME history.
Because Dr. Negri was a member of various commissions of the Italian Federation of Medical Societies, he began helping others follow a European CME path.
His work developed as the rest of Europe started opening up to CME, and Dr. Negri is now a board member of the Global Alliance for Medical Education and various accreditation committees of international medical societies.
Dr. Negri is founder of the Rome Group, an international group of experts from North America and Europe in Continuing Medical
Educational (CME) /Continuing Professional Development (CPD), to create common guidelines for CME systems, in order to gain international reciprocity of CME / CPD credits.
Dr. Negri will work closely with Veglia and the ABTS team in Rome and Miami to provide support services for all Association clients through alliances with (UEMS) and European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education.
