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 Stowe

From the covered bridges and a paved village path to the notch road beneath Mount Mansfield, choose the Stowe that suits your time outside study.

Stowe’s historic village
The tourism office lists lodging in and around the historic village. Choose this area if you want Main Street shops and the start of the Recreation Path nearby.
Mountain Road
Lodging is also listed along Mountain Road, near the Recreation Path and Stowe Mountain Resort. Choose this area for slopeside access in winter, and book early because availability is limited in busy ski periods.
Route 100 corridor
The tourism office’s lodging search includes Route 100 North and Route 100 South. Choose this area if you prefer to be outside the village, and plan for the drive in.
Afternoons, travel and weather in Stowe

Foliage typically turns from early September to mid-to-late October, November is quieter, and winter snow changes road conditions quickly. Conferences are available all year.

Stowe after your study day

Study days finish at 2:00 PM Stowe time. For an easy afternoon, choose one outing near your study setting: a walk on the Stowe Recreation Path, a look at one of the covered bridges, or a browse through Stowe Village, which the tourism office describes as a place to shop and explore. Leave time for the drive, because Stowe’s tourism office advises travelling with snow tires in winter, when conditions can change quickly.

Travel, accommodation and any lift or admission arrangements are made separately. Your conference is built around your specialty and interests; the town is the setting you choose for it.

The Recreation Path and the covered bridges

The Stowe Recreation Path is a 5.3-mile paved trail that runs from Stowe Village and criss-crosses the West Branch of the Little River. The tourism office describes it as mostly level and open all year, with picnic tables and swimming holes along the way. You can join it at several points, including Lintilhac Park behind the Stowe Community Church on Main Street, Chase Park on Luce Hill Road, and Thompson Park off Route 108. In winter the path is groomed for cross-country skiing, and snowshoers use it too. Bicycle maintenance stations stand at Lintilhac and Chase Parks, and the tourism office says bike rentals are nearby.

Covered bridges give the walk a destination. The Brookdale Bridge, built in 1964, spans the West Branch of the Little River at one end of the path and is reached from Brook Road, where a small parking area sits just before it. Gold Brook Bridge, also called Emily’s Bridge, dates from 1844 and is described as the oldest Howe truss bridge in Vermont. Red Covered Bridge in Morristown dates from 1896 and is about a 10-minute drive from Stowe village. Check the tourism office’s road alerts before you set out, since local bridges and roads close for repairs from time to time.

Smugglers’ Notch and Mount Mansfield

Smugglers’ Notch State Park lies in Stowe, inside Mt. Mansfield State Forest near the base of Mount Mansfield, Vermont’s highest peak. The state park page says trails from the park lead to the Long Trail, Moss Glen Falls State Natural Area and Bingham Falls, and to the Mt. Mansfield Toll Road. The road through the notch is lined with 1,000-foot cliffs and is closed in winter, so confirm that it is open before you plan a drive.

Outdoor plans here depend on the season and the weather, and a mountain trail takes more time than a path through the village. If you want to see the notch after your study day, choose a short stop rather than a long hike, and keep an eye on how much daylight remains.

Museums for a cold or wet afternoon

The Stowe Historical Society Museum covers the town’s past, from early settlement to its rise as a ski destination. The Vermont Ski and Snowboard Museum focuses on the sport in Vermont and is housed in what the tourism office calls the oldest active public building in Stowe. Check each museum’s days and hours against your 2:00 PM finish before you plan around it.

The Noyes House Museum in Morrisville is run by the Morristown Historical Society and offers a one-hour tour of a banker’s home, with 19th-century furniture, textiles and everyday objects. Choose these museums if the weather rules out the path or the notch.

When to visit Stowe

Stowe’s tourism office says foliage typically begins to turn in early September and lasts through mid-to-late October, with peak color generally in the last week of September and the first week of October. Higher places such as Mount Mansfield and Smugglers’ Notch tend to peak before the historic village.

November is described as a quieter period after the foliage, as winter approaches. Winter is the ski season, from December to March, and the town runs a winter shuttle along Mountain Road. The tourism office’s site organizes trip ideas by summer, fall, winter and spring, so look at the section for your dates. Use the local forecast when you plan outdoor time, and allow for snow on the roads between December and March.

Getting to Stowe and your study setting

Burlington International Airport (BTV) is the arrival point shown in this guide. The tourism office describes it as about a 40-minute scenic drive from Stowe and says private shuttles can be booked in advance. It also says rental cars and taxis are available in Burlington, Waterbury and Stowe. Train and bus services run into Waterbury, about 15 minutes from Stowe, and the Green Mountain Transit Route 100 Connector stops at Stowe Town Hall.

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.
