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 Georgetown, Guyana

Afternoons, travel and weather in Georgetown, Guyana

Guyana has a dry season and a green season rather than four seasons, and on the coast the dry months run from mid-January to May and from mid-July to mid-November. Conferences are available all year.

Georgetown after your study day

Study days finish at 2:00 PM Georgetown time. For an easy afternoon, choose one outing in the city: a walk through the Botanical Gardens, a visit to the Zoological Park, or some birdwatching in the city’s parks. Guyana’s tourism authority calls the National Park, Botanical Gardens and Zoological Park the city’s green lungs and describes them as much more accessible.

Travel, accommodation and any tours are arranged separately. Your conference follows your specialty and interests; Guyana is simply the setting you choose for it, so plan outings around a 2:00 PM finish.

Birds, gardens and rooftops

Georgetown is a city for birdwatchers. The tourism authority says birders can regularly spot more than 200 species flying around or perched on rooftops in the city, and it names the Blood-coloured Woodpecker among the birds of the city parks. It lists the Botanical Gardens as a hotspot for urban species.

Farther afield, the authority lists the Mahaica River as a key place to find the hoatzin, also called the Canje pheasant. It does not give a distance from Georgetown, so ask a licensed guide how long the trip takes before you plan around it.

Heritage, food and rum

The authority’s culture page lists Dutch sluice and canal engineering in Georgetown, museums with Demerara windows and wooden churches with stained glass among Guyana’s built heritage. Check each museum’s days and hours against your 2:00 PM finish. Mashramani, the Republic Day festival, brings parades, live music and traditional food to Georgetown and the rest of the country in July; the authority posts the calendar, so check current dates before you book.

Guyanese cooking draws on Indigenous, East Indian, African, Chinese, British, Dutch and Caribbean traditions. Seven curry is an Indo-Guyanese dish traditionally served in a giant water lily leaf, with seven vegetarian curries including pumpkin, mango and eggplant. One operator runs a seven curry tour that cooks the dish in a garden in Georgetown. Rum Route tours also list Georgetown options, and the authority says visitors can tour the Demerara Distillers distillery to see how rum is made.

Kaieteur Falls is a day of its own

In Kaieteur National Park, the Potaro River drops 741 feet at Kaieteur Falls. Several local airlines fly from Ogle airport in Georgetown to Kaieteur and back on the same day, and the authority says the flight takes about an hour. Most tours include a guided walk of about two hours to three viewing points: Rainbow, Boy Scout and Johnson. The park is home to the Kaieteur golden rocket frog and the Guianan cock-of-the-rock.

A Kaieteur flight needs a whole day, so it suits a day you keep clear of study. The authority says September to November is an excellent time to go, and that flights may be choppy or cancelled in rain, so leave a spare day. Scheduled flights limit baggage to 20 pounds per person, and some routes stop at Orinduik Falls or Iwokrama.

When to visit Georgetown

The tourism authority describes two seasons, dry and green. On the coast, where Georgetown sits, the dry season runs from mid-January to May and from mid-July to mid-November, and the green season from May to mid-July and mid-November to mid-January. Dry months bring little rain; green months bring cooler days, more humidity and rain showers.

Inland, the pattern differs: the interior is dry from January to early May and from September to December. The authority notes that the falls look better after the rains, so a Kaieteur day and a coastal week may call for different timing.

Getting to Georgetown and your study setting

Flights arrive at Cheddi Jagan International Airport in Timehri, about 41 kilometers from Georgetown, or at Eugene F. Correia International Airport, about 11 kilometers from the city, according to the tourism authority. Direct service runs year-round from New York, Miami and Toronto, and Eugene F. Correia is the hub for local flights. On the coast, 15-seater minivans and local taxis are the main way to travel between towns, and the authority calls taxis the more comfortable option. Vehicles can be rented in Georgetown, but the authority advises hiring a driver because road conditions vary. Choose your accommodation with both your study setting and your outings in mind.

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.
