VILAMOURA, THE ALGARVE
A stunning, yacht-filled marina trimmed by cocktail bars and gorgeous golden beaches are just the start of its best bits.
The palm-lined marina is the place to relax and take a break. With tons of places to eat, drink and just sit and take in the views.
Stay active with six golf courses, a tennis club with 12 clay courts, five-a-side football pitches, horse riding, water sports and the Algarve water park, to name just a few.
Vilamoura boasts 2 sandy beaches – Praia da Marina and Praia de Falesia. Sunloungers and umbrellas are dotted along both, and a long promenade between them brings in plenty of bars and restaurants.
It may have a modern vibe to it, but just 100 metres from Vilamoura’s marina there’s the ruins of an ancient Roman fishing village, complete with old wall murals and a bathing complex.
Tivoli Marina Vilamoura Algarve Resort
Our venue for the Algarve retreat is the Tivoli Marina Vilamoura Algarve Resort. The iconic Tivoli Marina Vilamoura Algarve Resort is far more than a luxury 5 star hotel in Vilamoura. Sophisticated, savvy and directly on the beachfront.
Tivoli Marina Vilamoura Algarve Resort is justly famous for its family-friendly offerings – from toddlers to teenagers, there is something for everyone. Vilamoura is the golfer’s mecca and the Golf Desk ensures that your golfing trip is flawless. Spa lovers indulge in the Tivoli Spa, or refresh and revive in the indoor and outdoor pools.

Relevant information
What is a CME activity? A Continuing Medical Education(CME) activity serves to maintain, develop, or increase the knowledge, skills, and professional performance and relationships that a physician uses to provide services for patients, the public, or the profession.
Why do physicians need continuing medical education (CME) credit? Physicians use CME credit to demonstrate that they have participated in educational activities and obtained CME credit to document meeting the requirements of state medical boards, medical specialty societies, specialty boards, hospital medical staffs, the Joint Commission, insurance groups, and others
Who accredits the Course? An application has been made to the UEMS EACCME® for CME accreditation of this event. Accreditation by the EACCME means that the CME/CPD activity provided is of high scientific value, is free of commercial bias and promotes active adult learning. This is of paramount importance to doctors who need to report to their National Accreditation Authority on their CME/CPD activity over a certain period of time, and this even more now that many national systems are (becoming) mandatory and not voluntary. By attending an EACCME accredited event, they will be able to obtain European CME credits (ECMEC) which are recognised not only in a majority of European countries (with which the EACCME has signed agreements), but also in the USA and Canada. By handing in their EACCME certificate to their National Accreditation Authority, their credits will automatically be recognised and converted into national credits.
What documentation does a physician receive for participating in a certified CME activity provided by an accredited CME provider? A CME certificate will be issued and can be used to prove attendance.
