A program shaped around you
Conferences planned around your specialty, at any North American destination. Members can also choose destinations beyond North America.
Study-day tools
Journal modules and scheduled presentations, with optional notes beside each one.
Clear records, kept together
Each conference’s confirmation, course log, certificate of participation and receipt, with a whole year’s records in one PDF. Your course log shows your recorded study time, including any partial participation.
Travel, accommodation, and external learning costs are separate.
What is a conference day?
A conference day is part of your membership allowance, not a block of hours. Each study day of a conference uses one conference day. Days are held when you confirm and used when you first check in. If you cancel before then, they come back. Unused days end with your membership year. Lite covers one conference without using conference days.
CME credit and eligibility
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.
