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 Haleakala National Park / Maui

On the slopes of Haleakalā, Kula and Makawao offer farms, gardens and paniolo history in Upcountry Maui, with a 10,023-foot summit and its crater trails above them.

Kula
The park service says Kula has the closest hotels and bed-and-breakfasts to the Summit District. Choose it if you want the Upcountry farms and gardens close by.
In the Summit District
The park service says lodging inside the park is limited to campgrounds and Wilderness Cabins, with a drive-up campground in the Summit Area. Overnight stays are allowed only in designated camping areas.
Afternoons, travel and weather in Haleakala National Park / Maui

The park service says the summit runs about 30°F cooler than the coast and can fall below freezing, while the tourism board recommends April, May, September and October for visiting Maui. Conferences are available all year.

Haleakala after your study day

Study days finish at 2:00 PM local time. Upcountry is the part of Maui that sits on the higher slopes around Haleakalā, and the tourism board describes Kula as a rustic area of farms and gardens. It lists Kula Botanical Gardens, known for carnations, birds of paradise and orchids, and Holy Ghost Church, a white octagonal church built in 1894 as a gift to Portuguese plantation workers.

Makawao is a paniolo town, which the tourism board describes as a Hawaiian cowboy town on the slopes of Haleakalā. Its boutiques and galleries fit a quiet afternoon, and the Hui Noʻeau Visual Arts Center offers classes and gallery exhibits. Check each place’s current hours against your 2:00 PM finish. Travel, lodging and park entry are arranged separately from your conference.

Sunrise and stars at the summit

The park service says you need a reservation to watch sunrise in the Summit District, made ahead of time on recreation.gov up to 60 days in advance. A portion of each day’s reservations is released 48 hours ahead, and one reservation is allowed per three-day period. Reservations are valid only for the day reserved, and they are not refunded or exchanged for weather. Calling or visiting the park does not get you one.

Stargazing happens at the same summit, where the service cites high elevation and minimal light pollution. Temperatures drop quickly after sunset, and the road has no streetlights or guardrails. The service suggests turning off white lights, including phones, and using red light only when necessary. Sunrise comes before study begins, so a summit visit means an early start, and stargazing falls after your 2:00 PM finish.

Trails on the crater rim

In the Summit District, the Hosmer Grove trail is a 0.54-mile loop with a 50-foot elevation change that compares non-native trees planted before the park was established with native shrubland. The first overlook on the Sliding Sands trail is 0.5 miles round trip with a 50-foot change, while the full crater-floor hike to Halemau’u is about 11 miles one way.

The Halemau’u trail is 2.2 miles round trip to a crater viewpoint with a 400-foot change in elevation. The park service says that if you start with a downhill hike, you should plan roughly double the time to return. It also lists altitude-sickness symptoms of nausea, headache, dizziness and shortness of breath, and says temperatures often range from 30°F to 65°F, so bring cold and wet weather gear.

Plan around the mountain road

The park has two districts, Summit and Kīpahulu, and the park service says they are not directly connected by road and that public transport serves neither. From Kahului the summit route follows Route 37 to 377 to 378. Drive time from the entrance gate to the summit is about 30 minutes, according to the service.

There are no gas stations in the park, and for the Summit District the last gas is in Pukalani. The service also says no food, clothing or gas is for sale in the park and that even fully charged electric vehicles have not made it to the summit. Parking is limited to designated lots, which close when full. It says stores, services and lodging are all at least 30 minutes away.

Farms, galleries and the Makawao Rodeo

The tourism board says Hawaiians have farmed the volcanic soil for generations, growing taro and sweet potato, and that visitors can take farm tours, visit a goat dairy and sample Maui-made wines and spirits in Kula and Makawao. It lists a farm in Kula where visitors harvest their own vegetables and a lavender farm.

Makawao holds its rodeo each Fourth of July, a paniolo competition that the board says includes a parade and rodeo contests. The page also notes that paniolo culture goes back to the 19th century, when King Kamehameha III invited vaqueros from California to teach islanders to handle cattle.

When to visit Haleakala

The summit stands at 10,023 feet, and the park service gives year-round summit highs of 50°F to 65°F with lows that can fall below freezing. Wind chill and damp, overcast conditions can make it feel colder, and conditions before dawn are often wet, windy and below freezing.

On the windward coast at Kīpahulu, daytime averages are 70°F to 80°F year-round and the annual rainfall is 187 inches. The park service says it may be hot, dry, wet or cold in any part of the park at any time, so pack layers whatever the month. Maui’s tourism board recommends spring and fall, specifically April, May, September and October.

Getting to Haleakala and your study setting

Kahului Airport (OGG) is the arrival point shown in this guide. The state’s airport page calls it the primary airport on the island of Maui, and the tourism board says most visitors fly in there. The same board places Haleakalā National Park, Makawao and Kula in Upcountry Maui, apart from Central Maui, which holds Kahului and Wailuku.

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.
