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 Burlington, Vermont

Burlington sits on the shore of Lake Champlain, with a four-block pedestrian marketplace downtown, a lakeside bike trail and the town of Shelburne with its museum and farm nearby.

Downtown Burlington
Vermont’s tourism site links to a lodging directory for Burlington, which it calls easy to explore on foot or by bike. Church Street Marketplace is a four-block pedestrian mall just steps from the water.
Shelburne
Choose this area for farmland and museum visits outside the city. Vermont’s tourism site lists a lodging option in a Gilded Age estate at Shelburne Farms.
Afternoons, travel and weather in Burlington, Vermont

Vermont’s tourism site counts spring, summer, fall and winter plus maple season and stick season, with sailing and festivals in summer and events in fall. Conferences are available all year.

Burlington after your study day

Study days finish at 2:00 PM Burlington time. For an easy afternoon, walk Church Street Marketplace, follow the lake shore on the Island Line Trail from Oakledge Park, or visit the ECHO, Leahy Center for Lake Champlain on the waterfront. Allow time for changeable lake weather, and check hours for anything you plan to enter.

Travel, lodging and admission are arranged separately by you. The city is the setting for your own plans, and nothing here is scheduled around your study day.

Church Street Marketplace

Vermont’s tourism site describes Church Street Marketplace as a four-block pedestrian mall near the water, good for shopping and people-watching. The marketplace’s own site lists more than 45 local retailers, galleries and services, and over 30 restaurants.

The marketplace site also mentions street entertainers and artists in the alley. Its event calendar includes Party on the Bricks, trivia nights, book talks and a film series, and it promotes holiday events in the season. Because events change, check the marketplace’s calendar rather than counting on a particular one.

The lake shore and the Island Line Trail

Local Motion, the Vermont bike and pedestrian group, says the Island Line Trail starts south of downtown Burlington in Oakledge Park and parallels the lake shore, past nature reserves and across the Colchester Causeway by Bike Ferry. From there you can reach the Champlain Islands. The same page warns that the ferry does not always operate, and it links an on-road alternate route for the causeway and a map of rest areas to help you plan breaks.

Vermont’s tourism site says Burlington has several public beaches as well as its Lake Champlain waterfront, and Local Motion also advertises bike rentals. Vermont’s tourism site highlights sunsets over the lake, and it lists the Community Sailing Center for sailing on the lake. Red Rocks Park is a 100-acre park with waterfront, a swimming area and trails.

Neighborhoods worth a walk

Vermont’s tourism site calls Burlington easily walkable and bikeable, and it describes the Old North End as known for diverse local food and small businesses, and the Pine Street Historic District as home to local businesses and restaurants with an artistic vibe. The South End Arts District offers small-business incubators, galleries, studios and a dining scene.

The site also lists the South End Art Hop among its fall events. Winooski, a historic mill city of about 1.5 square miles, adds dining, shopping and outdoor activity. Pick one neighborhood for an afternoon, and leave time to wander between its shops, galleries and restaurants.

Shelburne Museum and Shelburne Farms

Shelburne is a separate town, and Vermont’s tourism site names two reasons to visit: Shelburne Museum, a museum of art, history and design at 6000 Shelburne Road, and Shelburne Farms, a National Historic Landmark. The farm describes itself as a 1,400-acre working farm with walking trails and a farm store. Its day visits run from mid-May to mid-October, and a separate page covers visiting from November to April.

The museum’s website has shown a temporary seasonal closure, so check its current status before you plan a trip there. The tourism site also lists Shelburne Vineyard among its fall activities and the Lake Champlain Ferry from Charlotte as a spring activity. Allow for the drive and for a visit that may take longer than the time left after your study day.

Winooski, Colchester and the causeway

Vermont’s tourism site describes Winooski as a historic mill city with local dining, shopping and outdoor activity. The same site says the Island Line Trail follows a former railbed onto the Colchester Causeway, which suits relaxed cyclists, and it names the Sunset Drive-In in Colchester.

Cyclists who plan to ride the causeway should read Local Motion’s notes on the bike ferry first, since it is not always running. If you would rather stay on foot, the lake shore near Oakledge Park and Red Rocks Park gives you water views without a bicycle.

When to visit Burlington

Vermont’s tourism site says that, depending on who you ask, the state has six seasons: spring, summer, fall and winter, plus maple season and stick season. Its Greater Burlington page lists sailing, the Discover Jazz Festival and the Champlain Valley Fair for summer.

For fall it lists the South End Art Hop and Shelburne Vineyard, for winter night skiing at Bolton Valley, and for spring brew tours and Flynn Center performances. Use the local forecast when you plan time on the water.

Getting to Burlington and your study setting

Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport (BTV) is the arrival point shown in this guide. The City of Burlington operates it, and its website lists pick-up and drop-off, rental cars and taxis, and parking. A news item on the site places the airport in South Burlington. Check those pages before you travel.

The map shows straight-line distances from Shift’s designated center. These are orientation distances, not driving distances or travel-time estimates. Check your exact address against the conference’s check-in area before booking.

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.
