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 Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island

Cobblestone Victoria Row and a harbour boardwalk give Charlottetown a walkable centre, while the sandy beaches and red sandstone cliffs of Prince Edward Island National Park run along the north coast.

Downtown Charlottetown
Tourism PEI describes the capital as a mix of historic and newer architecture and accommodations. Choose this area for Victoria Row, the waterfront and the walking boardwalk.
The Charlottetown Area
Tourism PEI’s Where to Stay search has a Charlottetown Area region, with types from hotels and inns to bed and breakfasts and cottages. Choose this region if you want to compare lodging beyond the downtown streets.
Afternoons, travel and weather in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island

Tourism PEI ties summer to beach days and festivals, fall to harvest food and changing leaves, winter to festivals and snowshoeing, and spring to lupins and the opening of lobster season. Conferences are available all year.

Charlottetown after your study day

Study days finish at 2:00 PM Charlottetown time. Choose one outing near where you are staying: Victoria Row, a cobblestone street of artisan shops, cafés and restaurants that Tourism PEI says is closed to vehicle traffic during the summer months; the historic waterfront at Peake’s Wharf for shopping, dining and harbour views; or the walking boardwalk with its harbour views. Leave time for the season, because the street closure applies in summer.

Travel, lodging and tickets are arranged separately by you. Charlottetown is the setting for your own plans, and nothing here is scheduled around your study day.

Harbour, parks and the city’s history

Tourism PEI describes Victoria Park as having an outdoor swimming pool, ball games, tennis courts and the gardens at Government House, with harbour views from the walking boardwalk. Downtown, it suggests walking tours led by the Confederation Players or taken on your own, built around the city’s history as Canada’s Birthplace. The Harbour Hippo tour covers the city by land and by sea.

The Confederation Centre of the Arts and the Guild are listed as theatres, and the tourism board points to downtown pubs for a locally crafted pint with local performers. Check show schedules against your 2:00 PM finish and book ahead if a performance matters to you.

Red sandstone cliffs and beaches

Parks Canada says Prince Edward Island National Park extends 40 kilometres along the north coast from Cavendish to Dalvay, with another 6 kilometres on the Greenwich peninsula. Tourism PEI describes two regions, Cavendish–North Rustico and Brackley–Dalvay, with sandy beaches, red sandstone cliffs, dunes and wetlands. The dunes are protected and always off-limits to visitors.

Parks Canada gives the route to Brackley as 17 kilometres on Route 15 north after exiting the Charlottetown Arterial Highway, and the Cavendish route as Route 2 west to Route 7 in Milton for 10 kilometres, then 20 kilometres to the junction of Routes 6 and 13. Every route on its page is by road, so plan on a car or other ground transport. Cavendish Beach has a boardwalk with washrooms, a canteen and picnic areas, and Parks Canada calls it busy on a hot summer day. Its supervised swimming runs from early July to early September, so check beach supervision before you go. Dogs are not allowed on park beaches from April 1 to October 15, and Piping Plover nesting can close sections.

Trails, Green Gables and the Confederation Trail

In Cavendish, the Dunelands Trail has a floating boardwalk and the Homestead is a stacked loop that crosses farm fields. In Brackley–Dalvay, the Robinsons Island Trail System has wetland and beach lookouts, and the Bubbling Springs and Farmlands trails are shorter and aimed at families. Gulf Shore Way is a 12-kilometre seaside trail suited to cycling and walking. Cycling helmets are mandatory on the Island, according to Parks Canada. Parks Canada also lists Dalvay-by-the-Sea National Historic Site, Covehead Harbour and Covehead Lighthouse as stops on this stretch.

Green Gables Heritage Place, a Parks Canada site in Cavendish, blends Anne of Green Gables with the real-life experiences of author L. M. Montgomery. It has Green Gables House, the Haunted Wood Trail and the Balsam Hollow Trail, which begins as Lover’s Lane. The site is listed as open from May to October, so check its current status. For something closer to town, Tourism PEI says branch trails of the Confederation Trail run through the heart of Charlottetown. The main trail is a rolled stone dust surface on a former railway line, with gradients that never exceed two per cent.

When to visit Charlottetown

Tourism PEI describes summer as beach days, festivals, golf and seafood, with warm salt-air breezes. In fall the leaves begin to change, and it names Howe Bay and Scenic Heritage Road for foliage. The PEI International Shellfish Festival and the Fall Flavours Food & Drink Festival belong to the harvest season on what it calls Canada’s Food Island.

Spring brings lupins along the roadsides, tulips, golf, the start of the theatre season and the opening of lobster season. In winter the board lists festivals and snowshoeing near North Rustico and the national park. Some beach services run only in summer, so match your plans to the month.

Getting to Charlottetown and your study setting

Charlottetown Alexander B. Campbell Airport (YYG) is the arrival point shown in this guide. Tourism PEI says it has direct and connecting commercial flights, and that most major car rental companies have offices at the airport. Maritime Bus runs regular service between Charlottetown, Summerside and Borden-Carleton. Drivers can also arrive over the 12.9-kilometre Confederation Bridge, about a 10-minute drive across, or on the ferry from Caribou, Nova Scotia, which takes about 75 minutes.

Tourism PEI describes Charlottetown as the capital, with a mix of historic and newer architecture and accommodations, and the Green Gables Shore as fishing villages and rural communities along the north shore. The map shows straight-line distances from Shift’s designated center. These are orientation distances, not driving distances or travel-time estimates.

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.
