Great Speakers Great Content
I could not be more pleased with CME vacations. The San Diego conference was a great location with lots of activities within walking distance. Evelyn and Alan are great presenters and gave us up-to-date information in an easy to understand format.
Finally a conference that presents practical, evidence based recommendations for the things I actually see and manage in my everyday practice! I have learned more helpful practice changing tips in this conference than any others that I have attended.
This course was extremely well organized as well as a great review of outpatient medicine. Our evening s were free with so much close by to explore and do. Very much recommend this course.
Excellent coverage of various pertinent outpatient topics using current evidence-based recommendations. Thank you to the presenters for the extensive work put in to share these information with us, and for the admin staff for being so accessible and prompt with logistical queries prior to the conference. Appreciate having access to copy of the slides and having the option to join by video. Appreciate the schedule to allow us to explore the city as well. Wish conference attendees had a special parking rate at the venue (though organizers did give a notice ahead of time re: expensive parking).
CME Vacations has been excellent! The topics are relevant to my everyday practice, and I love the discussion of relevant, up to date studies so I can share them with patients. I have also really enjoyed the structure of class in the morning and having the rest of the day to explore the city. I would highly recommend!
Great conference. Many different topics covered and a lot of great detail. Very casual so it did not feel like being at work you actually feel like you are on vacation.
This course was fantastic. The topics discussed were very pertinent, and I loved how the latest guidelines and latest studies were discussed for each topic. The format was such where the lecture time did not take away from many activities on the ship. This was my first time on the Symphony of the Seas and that ship was phenomenal. I felt like the value for the CME content and the ship was worth every penny.
It was awesome to do this on a cruise. I see future cruises are more destination CME but I would probably only continue to do it with live speakers. Over all, a bit too much stats for me but happy to have this option.
Helpful Updates and beautiful location - Iberostar Cancun
Topics discussed were up to date, helpful for patients that we see on a daily basis. Timing of courses were perfect, not overwhelming with the morning course, so that we had the rest of the day to enjoy the beautiful sun / resort. The gathering at the beach and buffet dinner was also very much appreciated. One of the most relaxing yet informative vacations that I have taken. Will be planning out my location with CME Vacations for next year!
