NEW SCOPE Course Accreditation Scheme!
IASO encourages organisers hosting events, courses and meetings related to the management of obese and overweight patients to apply for SCOPE Accreditation.
IASO is now a member of The CPD Certification Service, and offers CPD Certification for your event as part of SCOPE Accreditation.

Benefits of SCOPE Accreditation

- Allocation of CPD points for participants

SCOPE points allocation
SCOPE points are allocated based on course length. Typically each hour of learning is worth 1/4 point, although allocation of points is at the discretion of the SCOPE Accreditation Committee.
Note: In order for participants to be credited with SCOPE and CPD points, course organisers must submit an attendance list to scope@iaso.org
