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 Jasper

From the Jasper SkyTram and a canoe on Pyramid Lake to Maligne Lake cruises and the start of the Icefields Parkway, choose the Jasper that suits your time outside study.

Downtown Jasper
Choose this area if you want to be in town. Tourism Jasper lists downtown hotels, and Parks Canada lists lodging, fuel, restaurants and charging stations in the townsite.
Whistlers and Wapiti campgrounds
Choose these if camping suits your trip. Parks Canada says the Jasper Transit shuttle serves both campgrounds.
Afternoons, travel and weather in Jasper

Summer suits hiking, biking, rafting and paddling, fall is mild for hiking, and winter brings skiing, snowshoeing and skating; some areas stay closed after the 2024 wildfire, so check current status. Conferences are available all year.

Jasper after your study day

Study days finish at 2:00 PM Jasper time. For an easy afternoon, choose one outing near your study setting: a walk through downtown Jasper, a canoe trip on Pyramid Lake, or the Jasper SkyTram, a guided aerial tramway whose upper station sits at 2,263 metres after a ride of about seven minutes. Compare each operator’s schedule with your 2:00 PM finish, and check Parks Canada’s “What’s open” map first, because some areas remain closed after the 2024 Jasper wildfire.

Travel, accommodation and any admission are arranged separately. Your conference is built around your specialty and interests; the mountains are the setting you choose for it.

Maligne Lake, canyons and falls

Tourism Jasper lists Maligne Lake cruises, including a longer cruise with time at Spirit Island, as well as inflatable kayaking and fishing. Pyramid Lake offers guided canoe trips, and whitewater rafting trips run from the base of Athabasca Falls. Maligne Canyon is listed for half-day hikes and winter icewalks; check current status, since the winter icewalk arrangements can change.

Parks Canada names Miette Hot Springs among the park’s top attractions and keeps a trail conditions report for hikers. Wildlife is part of the setting. Tourism Jasper says sightings are most frequent in the early morning and during the evening, and that it is illegal and dangerous to touch or feed wildlife, so plan wildlife time around those hours.

A dark sky preserve at your door

The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada designated Jasper National Park a Dark-Sky Preserve on March 26, 2011. Parks Canada says the park covers more than 11,000 km² and is the second largest dark-sky preserve in the world. Viewing is possible year-round, and Parks Canada points to clear, cool, low-humidity nights around the new moon, especially in fall and winter. Local measures to limit light pollution include swapping older streetlights for fixtures that point light downward, which also helps nocturnal wildlife.

Parks Canada recommends Pyramid Island, Jasper Lake, Old Fort Point and the toe of the Athabasca Glacier. The Milky Way is most visible from July through September, the Perseids peak in mid-August, and the Dark-Sky Festival runs each October. Bring warm layers and a red-light flashlight to protect your night vision.

The Icefields Parkway

The Icefields Parkway runs 232 km between Jasper and Lake Louise. Parks Canada lists Athabasca Falls 30 km from Jasper, the Goats and Glaciers Viewpoint at 37 km and Sunwapta Falls at 54 km. The Columbia Icefield Discovery and Information Centre is summer only, and Sunwapta Pass Viewpoint marks the Banff–Jasper park boundary at 2,035 m, with the Weeping Wall, the Big Bend and Bridal Veil Falls as roadside viewpoints beyond it.

Services are limited and there is no cell coverage, so plan your fuel and food stops in advance; the townsite has fuel, lodging, restaurants and charging stations. Weather and road conditions can change by season and even by the hour; check 511 Alberta, and note that a park pass is required. Consider a first stop at Athabasca Falls rather than the whole route.

When to visit Jasper

Tourism Jasper lists hiking, biking, rafting and paddling on Lac Beauvert in summer, wildlife and landscape photography in fall, and skiing, snowshoeing, skating on Lake Mildred and guided icewalks in winter. Parks Canada calls fall a good time for hiking because temperatures are mild.

Seasonal closures apply in the Tonquin and À la Pêche caribou ranges from November 1 to May 15. For current road, trail and closure information, check the park’s bulletins and the road updates before you travel.

Getting to Jasper and your study setting

Edmonton International Airport (YEG) is the arrival point shown in this guide. Tourism Jasper says Highway 16, the Yellowhead, is the main east-west route to and from Jasper, and that you can also reach the town from Calgary through Banff on the Icefields Parkway. VIA Rail Canada and Rocky Mountaineer both serve Jasper. The park speed limit is 90 km/h, with lower limits in some areas, so allow extra time. The Jasper Information Centre is at 500 Connaught Drive, open year-round, with its peak season from June through August.

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.
