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 Orlando

From downtown’s lakeside walks to resort-area dining and roller coasters, choose the Orlando that suits your time outside study.

Downtown / Lake Eola
Stay downtown for lakeside walks and dinner nearby. Lake Eola’s 0.9-mile loop makes an easy outing after study.
International Drive / Universal
Choose this area for attractions and evening entertainment. International Drive has hotels and restaurants; Universal CityWalk adds dining, mini-golf and a cinema.
Disney / Lake Buena Vista
Choose this area if Disney is the focus of your trip. Disney Springs offers dining, shopping and entertainment for an afternoon or evening outing.
Afternoons, travel and weather in Orlando

November–April is generally milder and drier; summer brings heat and afternoon showers. Conferences are available all year.

Orlando after your study day

Study days finish at 2:00 PM Orlando time. For an easy afternoon, choose one outing near your study setting: a walk around Lake Eola, dinner at Universal CityWalk, or shopping and dining at Disney Springs. Leave time for getting there, parking and Florida weather.

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

Theme parks or a quieter afternoon?

Universal Orlando and Walt Disney World offer very different park experiences. For a roller-coaster afternoon, compare the hours for your chosen park with your 2:00 PM study finish before buying admission. Allow for transport, entry and queues; a full park day may fit better before or after your conference.

For a slower change of pace, Lake Eola Park sits in downtown Orlando. Its 0.9-mile lakeside sidewalk circles the fountain, with gardens and skyline views along the way.

When to visit Orlando

November through April is a useful starting point for planning an Orlando visit. Winters are generally mild and drier; summer brings heat, humidity and frequent afternoon showers. Use the local forecast when you plan outdoor time.

Getting to Orlando and your study setting

Orlando International Airport (MCO) is the arrival point shown in this guide. Choose your accommodation and ground transport with both 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.
