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. John's, Newfoundland

Brightly painted downtown row houses, the cliffs of Signal Hill, the fishing village of Quidi Vidi and the iceberg and whale watching along the coast make St. John’s a harbour city with a lot within reach of a short afternoon.

Downtown St. John’s
Destination St. John’s lists hotels, boutique hotels, inns, vacation houses and bed and breakfasts, and names a downtown hotel near restaurants and nightlife. Choose this area for the row houses, George Street and The Rooms.
Near Signal Hill and downtown
A Destination St. John’s itinerary mentions a hotel close to Signal Hill and downtown. Choose this area if the hill trails are your first priority.
Afternoons, travel and weather in St. John's, Newfoundland

Newfoundland’s tourism board gives an island summer average of 16°C and winter temperatures near 0°C, describes the weather as unpredictable, and places iceberg viewing from spring to early summer. Conferences are available all year.

St. John’s after your study day

Study days finish at 2:00 PM St. John’s time. Choose one outing near where you are staying: a walk among the painted row houses downtown, the climb up Signal Hill, or the village of Quidi Vidi. Destination St. John’s says downtown is easy to walk and navigate, but its north-to-south streets have steep hills, so leave time for the climbs.

Flights, lodging and any tours are arranged separately by you. St. John’s is the setting for your own plans, and nothing here is scheduled around your study day.

Row houses, George Street and The Rooms

Destination St. John’s describes Jellybean Row as the rows of vividly painted houses found throughout downtown, traditionally painted in bright colours to stand out in fog. It names Gower Street and Duckworth Street, and says rows of colourful homes seem to stack toward the sky on the hills leading toward The Battery.

Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism says George Street blazes with energy every evening, and Destination St. John’s describes live music and pubs there. The Rooms, at 9 Bonaventure Avenue, holds the province’s art gallery, museum and archives, and the tourism board lists harbour and city views from its spot on the skyline. Check its hours against your 2:00 PM finish.

Signal Hill and the Narrows

Signal Hill National Historic Site is where Guglielmo Marconi received the first transatlantic wireless signal, according to Parks Canada, and Cabot Tower stands on the hill. The grounds are open year-round, while Parks Canada lists June 1 to October 9, 2026 for the site’s seasonal schedule, which covers programs such as the musket program and the noon day gun program. Check the current schedule before you plan around them.

The North Head Trail is 1.7 kilometres and rated moderate to difficult. Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism says it takes about 90 minutes going down from the top of the hill by boardwalk stairs and footpaths to the Narrows and the Battery. Climbing from the Battery back to the top rises nearly 500 feet, so most people will choose the direction that suits their legs. Parks Canada notes that its Safety and guidelines section covers weather, so read it first.

Quidi Vidi, trails and the coast

Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism calls Quidi Vidi a village within a city that embodies the spirit of an old fishing outport. Destination St. John’s lists a craft brewery in a converted fish plant, artisan studios and a harbour, and says the village is primarily a pedestrian zone. City buses stop just outside, and parking is limited.

Trails reach it too. Destination St. John’s says the Sugarloaf Path of the East Coast Trail passes through the village, and Grand Concourse paths lead to Quidi Vidi Lake. The East Coast Trail runs 336 kilometres from Topsail through St. John’s to Cappahayden, and the Grand Concourse is a 160-kilometre network of walkways and trails in and around the city. Both can be done in short sections.

Icebergs, whales and Cape Spear

Cape Spear Lighthouse National Historic Site is on what Parks Canada calls Canada’s most easterly point of land. Its historic lighthouse offers guided tours about light-keeping family life in the 1830s, and the page mentions watching for icebergs and whales. Allow for a separate trip rather than a quick stop after study.

Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism says icebergs come through Iceberg Alley from spring to early summer, with April and May having the most, though sea ice can trap them, so it suggests late May to early June. It lists St. John’s, Cape Spear, Bay Bulls and Witless Bay as viewing areas reached by road. Humpbacks are in the province’s waters from April to October, and boat tours near Witless Bay Ecological Reserve are where it points for seabirds such as puffins. Keep your distance from icebergs if you are on the water.

When to visit St. John’s

Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism gives an island summer average of 16°C and says winter temperatures usually sit near freezing. It says the weather can be unpredictable and points to The Weather Network for forecasts. Its planning page says booking ahead for accommodation and car rentals is a must in spring and summer.

Iceberg timing runs from spring to early summer, and the tourism board’s whale information lists humpbacks from May to September and minke whales in summer and early fall. Signal Hill and Cape Spear list a June to early October schedule for 2026, while their grounds stay open year-round.

Getting to St. John’s and your study setting

St. John’s International Airport (YYT) is the arrival point shown in this guide, and Destination St. John’s says it is a 10-minute drive from the city centre. It lists taxis, ride-sharing and Metrobus, and advises reserving rental cars early because demand is high.

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.
