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 St. Croix

From the waterfront forts of Christiansted and Frederiksted to a boat out to Buck Island Reef, choose the St. Croix that suits your time outside study.

Christiansted
Choose this area if you want to walk to the harbor, the boardwalk and the historic site. Visit USVI describes historic inns with harbor-view courtyards and garden terraces.
Frederiksted
Choose this area for the waterfront and its fort. Visit USVI lists beachfront resorts here, known for sunset balcony views.
Hillside villas
Visit USVI also lists hillside villas with views over green landscapes and sugar mill ruins.
Afternoons, travel and weather in St. Croix

Temperatures average about 77°F in winter and 82°F in summer, trade winds keep the weather pleasant, and hurricane season runs from June through November with fall the rainiest stretch. Conferences are available all year.

St. Croix after your study day

Study days finish at 2:00 PM local time. For an easy afternoon, choose one outing near your study setting: the Christiansted boardwalk and Fort Christiansvaern, a walking tour of Frederiksted and its fort, or the view from Point Udall. Leave time for island roads and parking, and check opening days for any museum or site before you go.

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

Christiansted: a Danish port town on foot

Visit USVI calls Christiansted a walkable town on St. Croix’s northeastern coast and a former capital of the Danish West Indies, with cobblestone streets and pastel buildings. The National Park Service runs Christiansted National Historic Site, established in 1952 as its first unit in the Virgin Islands. It covers about seven acres on the waterfront and tells the story of the Danish period, from 1734 to 1917.

The complex includes Fort Christiansvaern, the Danish Customs House, the Steeple Building (once a church, completed in 1751), the Scale House and the Danish West India and Guinea Company Warehouse. For parking, Visit USVI points to the Government Parking Lot on Strand Street, and taxi stands are on King Street and at Market Square. Visit USVI suggests a half or full day for the historic sites and dining. Protestant Cay, a short water taxi ride across the harbor, has a beach; check the schedule against your 2:00 PM finish.

Frederiksted, Point Udall and the north shore

Frederiksted has a fort built to defend the island against pirates and rival nations. Visit USVI suggests a walking tour of the town and the fort, with dinner at an open-air restaurant one block from the waterfront. The Estate Whim Museum shows life on a colonial sugar plantation, and St. George Village Botanical Garden lets you walk through acres of tropical plants. The island is about 27 miles long, so treat the two towns as separate outings rather than one afternoon.

Point Udall is the easternmost point of the United States and is recommended for watching the sunrise. On the north shore, Cane Bay has a coral wall about 100 yards off the beach that drops into a deep undersea canyon. A rainforest hike leads to the tide pools at Annaly Bay; check trail conditions and the weather first.

Buck Island Reef by boat

Buck Island Reef National Monument covers a 176-acre island surrounded on about two-thirds of its sides by an elkhorn coral barrier reef. The park has an underwater snorkeling trail, and snorkelers are led through it in small groups. A trail crosses beachside forest to an observation deck about 300 feet above sea level.

You need a boat to reach it. Six National Park Service concessionaires run trips from the St. Croix mainland, and Visit USVI describes it as reached by a short charter boat ride. Compare the schedule with your 2:00 PM finish.

When to visit St. Croix

Winter averages about 77°F and summer about 82°F, with highs near 90°F in summer. Trade winds keep the weather pleasant. Fall, from September to November, is the rainiest stretch, though showers usually pass quickly.

Hurricane season runs from June through November, and September and October carry the highest risk, according to Visit USVI. If you travel in those months, follow the forecast and keep your arrangements flexible.

Getting to St. Croix and your study setting

Henry E. Rohlsen Airport (STX) is the arrival point shown in this guide. Visit USVI places it about 6 miles southwest of Christiansted, roughly a 20-minute trip by rental car or taxi. Visit USVI says visitors reach the historic sites by rental car or taxi from the airport. VITRAN public buses also serve the Christiansted area.

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.
