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 Killington

From a gondola ride up Vermont’s second-highest peak to Rutland’s farmers’ market and covered bridges, choose the Killington that suits your time outside study.

Killington resort area
Choose this area to be near the mountain. The resort lists resort hotel lodging and area lodging, and has base lodges with parking.
Gifford Woods State Park
Choose this area if you prefer a campground in Killington. The state park has a developed campground west of Route 100 and an old-growth Natural Area to the east.
Afternoons, travel and weather in Killington

December–March is the ski season, and Vermont tourism counts six seasons in the year, including maple season and stick season. Conferences are available all year.

Killington after your study day

Study days finish at 2:00 PM Killington time. For an easy afternoon, choose one outing close to your study setting: the 1.9-mile Deer Leap Overlook trail, which the Rutland region’s tourism office describes as suitable for hikers of all abilities with views over the Green Mountain valley; a walk through the old-growth forest at Gifford Woods State Park; or a scenic gondola ride at the resort. Check the gondola’s current operating dates, and note that many Vermont resorts require closed-toe, closed-heel shoes for chairlift rides.

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

The mountain beyond the ski season

Killington Resort lists a Bike Park with more than 30 miles of trails served by three lifts, an Adventure Center, scenic gondola rides and a golf course in the non-ski season. Vermont’s tourism office says the Express Gondola rises 4,241 feet to the summit of Vermont’s second-highest peak. You can stay on for a round trip or get off to hike Killington Peak or visit the Peak Lodge, and the resort has 15 miles of hiking trails that include sections of the Appalachian and Long trails. Dogs are allowed in outdoor areas and on select trails in the non-ski season, and tickets for the gondola must be bought online.

The Rutland region’s tourism office notes that both the Long Trail and the Appalachian Trail go through Killington. Vermont’s tourism office says the state has 8,000 miles of trails and more dirt roads than paved ones, so allow extra time on rural routes. Gifford Woods State Park lies on Route 100 near its intersection with Route 4. A section of the Appalachian Trail runs through the park, and the 7-acre Natural Area east of the road is an old-growth northern hardwood forest of sugar maple, beech and yellow birch, designated in 1965.

Rutland’s downtown, market and covered bridges

Rutland has a walkable downtown with shops, restaurants, galleries, murals and a sculpture trail, plus the Center Street Marketplace. Its farmers’ market runs outdoors in Depot Park from May through October and moves indoors to the Vermont Farmers Food Center in winter. For a trail close to town, Pine Hill Park has 17 miles of single-track across 325 acres, and Slate Valley Trails in Poultney and the Moosalamoo National Recreation Area are known for mountain biking and hiking. The Marsh Boardwalk in West Rutland is a designated Important Bird Area. Vermont’s tourism office describes a farm-to-table food culture and says the state has over 6,500 farms.

Museums include the Vermont Marble Museum in Proctor, which displays a marble bust of every U.S. president, the Wonderfeet Kids’ Museum in Rutland and the New England Maple Museum in Pittsford. The Vermont Danby Quarry is not open to visitors but offers a virtual tour. Pittsford also has four covered bridges, Hammond, Cooley, Gorham and Depot, reached by slower dirt roads. Brandon has a walkable downtown with galleries, studios, shops and restaurants, and Wallingford’s Main Street is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Delaware and Hudson Rail-Trail connects Castleton and Poultney for walking and picnics. Compare opening days with your 2:00 PM finish before you set out.

Winter at Killington

The resort advertises over 200 days of lift-served skiing and riding, along with snow tubing. Its base lodges, including K-1 and Snowshed, have parking, and the resort says lodging must be booked at least one day before arrival. Because study days finish at 2:00 PM, check lift hours and lesson schedules before you plan a ski session around them.

Both Killington and Pico are listed by the Rutland region as the area’s ski resorts, and the Green Mountain National Golf Course is in Killington.

When to visit Killington

Vermont’s tourism office describes six seasons: spring, summer, fall and winter, plus maple season and stick season, which it calls beloved. The resort’s gondola is promoted for foliage views in fall, and the catalog lists December through March as the ski season.

Season dates for lifts, the gondola and the bike park change, so check the resort’s current schedule before you book. The resort’s site also links a hiking map and a page of fall foliage visits. The state’s tourism office offers a Fall Foliage Report newsletter option.

Getting to Killington and your study setting

Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport (BTV) is the arrival point shown in this guide. Vermont’s tourism office also lists Rutland Southern Vermont Regional Airport, which has flights to and from Boston, and says Vermont is about three hours from Boston Logan Airport. It gives no distances to Killington, so check each route on a map.

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.
