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 Whitehorse

The Yukon River runs through town with a paved riverside loop, a historic sternwheeler, wildlife and hot springs within an hour’s drive, and northern lights from late summer into spring.

Mount Sima
Mount Sima’s website lists glamping, and the city places the mountain 15 minutes from downtown. Choose this area for a stay outside the city centre.
Whitehorse
Travel Yukon’s Whitehorse page advises securing your accommodation as you plan and links to its lodging listings. Choose the city if you want museums, the riverfront and trailheads close by.
Afternoons, travel and weather in Whitehorse

Travel Yukon gives summer daylight of 18 to 22 hours and temperatures of 6°C to 26°C, and winter temperatures of −40°C to −13°C with 5 to 11 hours of daylight. Conferences are available all year.

Whitehorse after your study day

Study days finish at 2:00 PM Whitehorse time. Choose one outing near where you are staying: a walk on the Millennium Trail beside the Yukon River, a look at the S.S. Klondike grounds, or the MacBride Museum downtown. Leave time for the season, since Travel Yukon puts summer daylight at 18 to 22 hours and winter daylight at 5 to 11.

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

The river and the Millennium Trail

The City of Whitehorse describes the Millennium Trail as a paved, non-motorized, multi-use loop of 5 kilometres that follows the Yukon River embankment on both sides. It crosses the river at the Robert Campbell Bridge at the north end and the Rotary Centennial Bridge at the south end, and it connects to the Riverfront Trail at the Robert Campbell Bridge for a river route through downtown.

The city lists Rotary Peace Park as a large open green space and Shipyards Park as a space designed to be enjoyed year-round. Travel Yukon says paddlers use the Yukon River, calling it a paddler’s playground, and that float planes leave from Schwatka Lake for remote areas. The city reports about 33.9 kilometres of trails per 1,000 residents, and Travel Yukon counts over 700 kilometres of marked trail in the Whitehorse area.

Sternwheelers, rapids and museums

Parks Canada calls the S.S. Klondike one of Canada’s few remaining steam-powered paddlewheelers and places it on the banks of the Yukon River on the outskirts of downtown Whitehorse. It is undergoing long-term rehabilitation, and Parks Canada says the boat and buildings are closed for the 2026 season while the grounds stay open, so check current status before you plan around it.

Parks Canada explains that Miles Canyon and the White Horse Rapids were the only major navigation barriers on the river, that a hydro dam has since submerged the rapids, and that Whitehorse became the end of steel and a freight transfer point. Travel Yukon adds that the city’s name comes from a legend that gold seekers thought the rapids looked like the manes of charging white horses. The MacBride Museum is at 1124 Front Street downtown, and its society also operates the MacBride Roundhouse, home of Engine 51. Check its hours against your 2:00 PM finish.

Wildlife, hot springs and a mountain

Travel Yukon says the hot springs and the Yukon Wildlife Preserve are both within an hour’s drive. The preserve sits on the Takhini Hot Springs Corridor, is open year-round, and keeps more than 150 animals on about 350 acres, including moose, elk, wood bison, muskox, woodland caribou and Canada lynx. Its site describes a 5-kilometre walking loop and a guided bus tour, and puts it about 30 minutes from Whitehorse.

Mount Sima is described by the city as a mountain playground 15 minutes from downtown, with summer and winter activities. The Whitehorse Nordic Centre is 10 minutes from downtown by car, cab or city bus, according to its site, with nearly 100 kilometres of groomed trails. It is open from mid-November to mid-April depending on weather, so it is a winter plan.

Northern lights and winter evenings

Travel Yukon gives the northern lights season as mid-August to mid-April, with the lights visible from Whitehorse. It advises getting away from light pollution, checking an aurora forecast, and noting that full-moon nights are brighter and can wash out the display. It gives the viewing hours as late at night, so treat the lights as a separate plan from your study day.

Winter activities Travel Yukon lists include dog sledding, ice fishing, snowshoeing, hot springs, cross-country and downhill skiing, and fat biking. Dress for the cold, which it puts at −40°C to −13°C from November to March.

When to visit Whitehorse

Travel Yukon lists summer, June to August, with 18 to 22 hours of daylight and 6°C to 26°C, and fall, September to October, with 9 to 13 hours of daylight and −3°C to 19°C. It describes spring as 5°C to 15°C with 12 to 16 hours of daylight, and notes northern lights viewing until mid-April.

Summer activities include canoeing the Yukon River, mountain biking, hiking and wildlife viewing, including moose and bears. Fall activities include hiking and photography tours for fall colours. Winter runs November to March.

Getting to Whitehorse and your study setting

Travel Yukon says travellers arriving by air fly into Whitehorse’s international airport, and that Air North has regular flights from cities including Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto and Ottawa. Air Canada also serves the Yukon, and WestJet and Condor offer seasonal flights. The city is the territory’s travel hub and a stop for drivers on the Alaska Highway.

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.
