We started by offering the best Hospital Medicine CME, and people loved it. We've now added Outpatient / Primary Care CME. The concept is simple:

• The best content: 16 hours of CME highlighting the latest guidelines, studies and updates that affect how we manage patients every day. Content is case-based, with actual patient scenarios and questions. 
• Flexible scheduling: Offered multiple times a year, at multiple locations.
• A “Working Vacation:” Family-friendly tourist destinations with a schedule that allows you to have fun while you earn CME.
• Reasonable pricing: We strive for the entire week to fit within a typical CME budget.

We also offer the same content in online courses.

The online version is included for conference attendees ($695 value)! We really want everyone to have a "working vacation" so including the online content gives you more flexibility. And now we have added LIVESTREAM also for even more flexibility.

1) We review the latest guidelines as well as relevant studies and provide the consolidated information to you in easy Take Home Points.  You can apply the most current recommendations in your practice without spending countless hours reviewing documents.  We do it for you!!  

2) We promote working vacations at fabulous sites.  We make CME fun by only having classes half of the day so that you are encouraged to have some fun the rest of the day.

3) We provide both online and in person courses.  Additionally, if you attend a CME seminar, you receive FREE access to the online course for flexibility and review purposes.    

Please see our refund policy page for detailed information.

No, you can stay at any hotel you like. We strive to offer great value and options when we choose our venues, but budgets, tastes and preferences vary.  However, we strongly recommend to stay at the conference hotel for our overseas conferences.

The conference price does not include the cruise.  For cruises, you would purchase the conference on our website and book your cabin through CME Custom Travel, the details are on the product page for each event. This is a cruise line requirement - groups must be managed through one agency.

On the last day of the conference, you will receive access to an online evaluation which you will need to complete.  You will have access to your CME certificate after completion of the evaluation.

No, our content is useful for others, too. There are physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants that all function as hospitalists, as well as some specialists that handle inpatient work, such as surgeons or other specialists that admit patients. Our conferences have been attended by hospitalists, NPs, PAs, cardiologists, ED physicians, anesthesiologists, surgeons, gastroenterologists, nephrologists and others. Some PCPs also care for inpatients - this is perfect for those providers, helping them stay current. It's also very applicable for students and residents, especially those considering becoming hospitalists, and helpful for board review. 

No, our content is appropriate for physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other specialists such as cardiologists, ED physicians, anesthesiologists, gastroenterologists, nephrologists, and dermatologists.  It's also very applicable for students and residents and helpful for board review.

There is a lot of overlap in the information provided between the two conferences.  However, to ensure that you receive the best of both worlds, if you attend the Outpatient Medicine Update conference we can give you access to the Hospital Medicine Update On Demand for free instead of Outpatient Medicine Update on Demand.

We do not provide a printed set of slides. We will email you the conference slides in pdf format at least 3 days prior to the start date, allowing you enough time to print slides if you desire. We also include a "Take Home Points" for each lecture.  The slides are in pdf format, one slide per page, so it's easy to follow along on a phone, tablet or laptop. 

In the CME world live events and "enduring material" are different courses. The "live event" is attended in person or via "live streaming". The "enduring material" is an online course.  The "live event" certificate will include the location and dates of the conference. The "enduring material" certificate will only provide the date of completion.  If you attend one of our conferences, as an educational benefit we give you access to the "enduring material" for reference and attendance flexibility.  If you have any additional questions please reach out to info@cmevacations.com. 

Yes, all of our Live conferences (except the cruises) offer live streaming.
