    San Diego 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.

    Translating evidence into clinical practice

    Having practicing outpatient clinicians teaching the lectures allowed me to walk away with pearls that I will immediately put into my practice. I appreciated the number of recent studies that were reviewed for each topic. The lectures started and ended on time with allowance for questions. In addition, the location was fantastic! I hope to attend another CME with CME Vacations in the future.

    Very up to date material, presented in an organized fashion. Numerous practice changing nuggets in every talk. My only critique is that Ryan’s command of the material was not quite as strong as Steve’s
