San Diego Travel Tips

Travel Tips:

Classroom Attire: Your preference, there is no dress code. However, we do recommend bringing a light jacket or sweater since sometimes the conference room is cold.

Transportation: Unless you plan to go on a day trip involving a long car ride, we don't recommend renting a car. Parking at the hotel is expensive and the airport is not far. Uber drivers / taxis are readily available and the hotel is in a great location with easy access to lots of activities. However, if you are driving to the hotel and are searching for cheaper parking options - you may want to try searching on spothero.com for other options.

Great experience!

This is my first experience with CME vacations. It is very educational, informative and enjoyable. Both presenters are nice and covered the most important every day hospital medicine topics very well. Highly recommended!

Clearwater CME

This conference exceeded my expectations! It provided updated guidelines/ updated clinical trials that affect hospital practice in a clean and concise manner, with multiple ways to get content based on learning style (In person, online, and Live Stream). They even provide slides, helpful hints, and more to be able to review later at your own pace. This was my first experience, and I will likely book again! Thanks CME Vacations!

Clearwater, FL

Great speakers! Fabulous location. Can’t wait to attend another

Clearwater Florida 2025 Hospital Update Course

This is my 3rd CME vacations course and it always exceeds expectations--great , updated educational content delivered in multiple formats (in writing, audible lectures, online access) catering to all learning styles and allowing you to revisist material to make the most of the information. It is the only CME company I use anymore and recommend 100%

A great way to efficiently use time off!

I was so happy to be able to earn CME while taking my family on a trip! I loved the conference format and content itself, the presenters were engaged and had great follow up with any questions we had, and the hotel itself was amazing! I have already recommended this to my colleagues and will continue to do so!

Best CME ever

This was by far the best CME event I have ever attended. I have traveled all over the US going to events that are so jammed packed it’s hard to decide which classes to attend. Classes start at the crack of dawn and last past supper. You choose your classes off the title that catches your attention to sit through a boring lecture that doesn’t even go with the title. By the end of the day you have no energy to explore the location you are visiting.

NOT with CME vacations. You get straight forward, up to date info on the disease process that is covered with the current guidelines validated by research articles. Plus they cover research that might have an impact on the current guidelines in the future.

Classes are designed to review material in an efficient manner, get you out by lunch so you can enjoy the rest of your day - vacationing. hence the name CME vacations. This will be my go to CME event. Highly recommended.

Super relevant content with all of the most updated medical literature. Relaxed format with plenty of time to enjoy the location of the conference!
