Why do I need to be at the destination?

Shift CME licenses educational content for live conferences at designated destinations. Those licenses restrict use to the conference location, so you need to be at your selected destination to participate. Presentations start at their scheduled times as part of your personalized program.

How long is a study day?

Study days run from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM local time, with presentations starting at scheduled times. That leaves the rest of the day to enjoy your destination.

Can I earn CME credit?

It depends on the session. A presentation or journal module offers AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ only where its accredited provider offers a CME activity and supplies instructions for claiming it; then you claim it as that provider directs. That credit comes from the provider, not from Shift CME, and not every session offers it. Physicians may also self-claim AMA PRA Category 2 Credit™ for learning they judge meets the AMA’s requirements, and your Shift CME records can support that claim. Nurse practitioners and physician assistants follow their own certifying bodies’ rules: NCCPA lets PAs self-claim Category 2 CME, while AANPCB and ANCC require accredited contact hours, which Shift CME does not award.

What does membership cost?

Membership is $999 a year (introductory price), plus applicable tax. It includes 21 conference days a year, enough for several conferences of 1 to 7 study days. Members can add days for $40 each. Or choose Lite for $349: one conference of up to 7 study days, paid before you create it.

What if I join late or miss a presentation?

Presentations start at their scheduled times. If you join late, playback picks up where the session is now. After a presentation ends, you can review its slides and knowledge checks, but its audio is no longer available.
