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 Dallas

From the museums of the Dallas Arts District and Klyde Warren Park to Deep Ellum’s murals and the shops of Bishop Arts, Dallas is a city of distinct neighborhoods.

Downtown
Visit Dallas says downtown gives you the pick of thousands of hotel rooms within walking distance of Dallas hot spots. Choose this area if you want the Arts District and downtown’s Dallas Farmers Market close at hand.
DFW Airport area
Choose this area if you want to stay at the airport. DFW Airport’s website says there are three hotels on airport property.
Afternoons, travel and weather in Dallas

Visit Dallas calls autumn a good time to visit, with cooler, patio-friendly days after the summer heat. Conferences are available all year.

Dallas after your study day

Study days finish at 2:00 PM Dallas time. Good afternoon choices are a stop at Klyde Warren Park, a walk on the Katy Trail, or a museum in the Arts District. Klyde Warren Park is a 5.4-acre non-profit park that describes itself as a town square, with food trucks, a dog park, a fountain, fitness classes and a children’s park.

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. In summer, leave room for the heat, and check parking before you drive to any of these places.

The Arts District

Visit Dallas describes the Dallas Arts District as a walkable hub of creativity spanning 20 square blocks. The district’s own site lists the Dallas Museum of Art, the Nasher Sculpture Center and the Crow Museum of Asian Art for visual arts, and the Winspear Opera House and the Meyerson Symphony Center for performing arts.

The Nasher Sculpture Center is at 2001 Flora Street and has indoor and outdoor galleries of modern and contemporary sculpture; it is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so it suits a Wednesday to Sunday afternoon. Compare every museum’s days and hours with your 2:00 PM finish. The district’s website also has dining and events listings and parking information, which is useful if you drive in.

Neighborhoods worth an afternoon

Deep Ellum is a former warehouse district that Visit Dallas describes as a nightlife hotspot for live music, and the tourism board calls the neighborhood itself an open-air gallery. Live music rooms there still host acts today. The page places its murals along Elm, Main and Commerce streets and mentions the Traveling Man sculptures.

Bishop Arts District, in Oak Cliff, has boutiques, restaurants, bars and coffee. The Design District is about two miles northwest of downtown, with antique stores and galleries beside interior design showrooms. Uptown lies just north of downtown and is connected to it by Klyde Warren Park. Visit Dallas also lists Harwood District, Knox/Henderson, Lower Greenville Avenue, Cedars/Southside and East Dallas among its neighborhoods, so there is more to explore than the main districts.

The Katy Trail and gardens

The Katy Trail is a 3.5-mile urban greenbelt park built on an abandoned Union Pacific railroad line, according to the trail’s own site. Visit Dallas says it starts in Victory Park, runs north through Uptown and crosses North Central Expressway into Mockingbird Station. People run, walk and bike along it, and the page mentions a brunch spot on the trail.

The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden covers 66 acres at 8525 Garland Road and runs seasonal displays, so check what is on during your dates. Visit Dallas also lists Old City Park and Fair Park among its attractions.

Markets, science and downtown

Dallas Farmers Market is at 920 S. Harwood Street, and its site places The Shed at the heart of downtown Dallas. The Market is an indoor food hall with specialty food vendors and local shops, and The Shed is the open-air section where Texas farmers and producers sell directly to shoppers every weekend.

The Perot Museum of Nature and Science is at 2201 N. Field Street. Visit Dallas also lists the Old Red Museum of Dallas County History and Culture, the Dallas Contemporary and the Crow Museum collection among its museums and galleries.

Zoo, Fair Park and family stops

The Dallas Zoo is at 650 S. R. L. Thornton Freeway, and its website mentions ZooNorth and notices about the elephants, giraffes and hoofstock. The zoo’s notices change through the year, so check its hours and any closures for your dates before planning around it.

Visit Dallas also lists Fair Park, the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden, and Netflix House Dallas among its attractions. If several of these appeal to you, spread them across different afternoons instead of trying to see them in one day.

When to visit Dallas

Visit Dallas says autumn is a good time to visit because the city swaps summer heat for cooler, patio-friendly days. Autumn events it lists include the Arboretum’s Pumpkin Village, and the State Fair of Texas takes place in September.

Summer is hot, and Visit Dallas features splash spots for cooling off, so plan outdoor outings with the local forecast in mind. Holiday attractions such as Dallas Zoo Lights require early ticket purchases, so look at them before you travel.

Getting to Dallas and your study setting

Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) is the arrival point shown in this guide. Its website lists parking, rental cars and public transit, plus an airport shuttle tracker and security wait times. Choose your lodging and ground transport with your study setting and your plans outside study hours in mind.

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.
