Credit options

Category 1 through a session’s accredited provider, where offered.

Category 2 self-claimed by eligible physicians for qualifying learning.

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.

Where to stay in Beaver Creek / Vail Valley

From a lakeside park in Avon to a village of sculptures and performances at Beaver Creek and a riverside walk in Edwards, the valley below the resort has more than skiing to offer.

Avon
Choose this area if you want Nottingham Park and the Eagle River close by. The tourism board describes Avon as a town to stay close to the resorts, with hotels and condos that can include kitchens and pools.
Beaver Creek Village
Choose this area if you want the village’s dining and performances at hand. The resort says many lodging options are located in the village, near hiking trails.
Edwards
Choose this area if you prefer a riverside town with shops and a market. The valley’s tourism site features a hotel in Edwards near shopping, dining, hiking and biking.
Afternoons, travel and weather in Beaver Creek / Vail Valley

Winter is ski season, summer brings wildflowers, aspens and bike trails, and the valley promotes late fall as a quieter time to visit. Conferences are available all year.

Avon and Beaver Creek after your study day

Study days finish at 2:00 PM local time. For an easy afternoon, choose one outing close to where you stay: Harry A. Nottingham Park in Avon, the village at Beaver Creek, or the riverside town of Edwards. The tourism board describes Avon as about eight miles west of Vail and less than ten minutes from Beaver Creek Resort.

Travel, lodging and any tickets are arranged separately. Your conference is built around your specialty and interests; the valley is the setting you choose for it. The resort says overnight parking is not permitted in its lots or garages, so ask your lodging where your car belongs.

A lakeside afternoon in Avon

Harry A. Nottingham Park is a lakeside park with paddleboat and stand-up paddleboard rentals, kayaking, fishing and a sandy beach. It also has running and walking paths, sand volleyball and basketball courts, a playground and grills, and it hosts summer concerts. The Main Street Mall, a pedestrian-only path, connects Avon Road to the park.

Avon’s own site says paved recreational paths run around Nottingham Park, along the Eagle River and through town, while dirt single tracks lie in the West Avon Preserve on the northwest side. The town’s recreation center has a pool, a sauna, a steam room and an indoor hot tub, and the town runs a bus service. Muddy trails are always closed, so check conditions before you set out.

The village at Beaver Creek

The resort describes its village as an alpine center for relaxed time with family and friends, with lodging, shopping and dining. Creekside Park is a spot for picnics, and the village has live music in summer. Beaver Creek Wonder is an outdoor art installation of oversize sculptures, including Frost Flowers, ice bikes and a giant snow globe.

The Vilar Performing Arts Center sits in the heart of the village and lists concerts, comedy, dance, classical and family shows. The resort’s signature summer events include Blues, Brews & BBQ and Oktoberfest. The resort’s Village Connect on-demand rides link Beaver Creek with the Bachelor Gulch and Arrowhead villages. Schedules change by season, so compare each date with your study plan. In summer the resort also lists mountain biking, hikes among wildflowers and aspens with Gore Range views, and a Robert Trent Jones Jr. golf course.

Edwards and the Eagle River

Edwards sits west of Vail and Beaver Creek, next to the Eagle River, and the valley’s tourism site calls it a good base for a visit. Riverwalk at Edwards is a pedestrian-friendly downtown along the river, with shops, restaurants, galleries, a bike and walking path and picnic tables.

Edwards Freedom Park has a playground, splash park, skate park, dog park and volleyball courts. The Edwards Corner Farmers’ Market runs from July through September, and guided fly-fishing and floats on the Eagle River are on the town’s list of outdoor options. Check the season before you plan on the market or a float.

Festivals, art and a mountain drive

Avon’s tourism page lists Salute to the USA, an annual celebration at Nottingham Park, along with Lakeside Cinema outdoor movies, the Avon Art Festival and a family circus show in a tent. These are seasonal, so confirm dates for the time of year you choose.

For a longer outing by car, the valley’s scenic drives post highlights Shrine Pass, where a field of wildflowers or golden aspen leaves can appear along the way. The same site says late fall is a quieter time to visit and suggests checking which restaurants are open before you go.

When to visit Beaver Creek and the Vail Valley

The valley markets itself for year-round recreation across spring, summer, autumn and winter. Winter centers on skiing at Beaver Creek, while the resort’s summer pages list mountain biking, hiking and golf. Avon sits at about 7,431 feet and Edwards at about 7,220 feet, so allow time to adjust to the altitude.

The valley’s tourism site promotes late fall as quieter. Because mountain weather varies, check the forecast before planning outdoor time.

Getting to Beaver Creek and your study setting

Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE) is the arrival point shown in this guide. The resort says it is about 30 minutes away, and the valley’s tourism site says flying into it means less time traveling, with rental cars and Core Transit buses available. Denver International Airport is about two hours away, and the Bustang West Line serves Vail, Avon and Eagle. From I-70, exit 167 leads to Avon.

FAQ

How does a conference work?

Choose your destination, dates and specialty. Your program includes journal modules and scheduled presentations. Presentations start at their scheduled times, rather than on demand. Review the program before you confirm. See each step.

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.

Where do I need to check in?

Select a destination from the destinations page. Check in once during your conference, within 20 miles of the destination’s designated center. Check-in is open from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM destination time on any study day. If you haven’t checked in by 10:00 PM on your last study day, no participation is recorded. Enable browser location access; if your phone can’t confirm your location, you can confirm it yourself when you check in.

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.

What does it cost?

Membership is $999 a year (introductory price), plus applicable tax, and renews at $999 a year until you cancel. It includes 21 conference days a year. Each conference uses 1 to 7 conference days. Members can add days for $40 each. Without a membership, one conference of up to 7 study days is $349, paid before you create it. Read about membership.

Can I change a confirmed conference?

Before you confirm, you can swap or remove sessions, or regenerate the plan. Choosing Confirm and lock itinerary locks the program. To change it after that, cancel the conference and plan a new one. Cancelled or incomplete confirmed conferences keep their confirmation.
