Choosing Your CME Conferences Carefully

by HealthyMD - CME Medical Education & Doctor Wellness
Despite the rise of highly convenient and time-saving online courses, live CME Conferences are still one of the most popular ways to earn CME credits today. They offer much that online CME can’t, such as: 

  • Live workshops
  • Equipment and technique demonstrations
  • Networking opportunities 
  • Further insights and deeper discussions
  • Insider updates to medical discoveries and technological advancements

Live CME events come in different forms, may it be a CME river cruise or a vacation resort conference. It offers participants a change of pace from their usually busy work schedules, and a chance to see the world as well.  Conferences are often used by physicians and other healthcare workers as a way to avoid burnouts.  It’s a good idea to attend at least one or two events in a year.

Choosing Wisely

Indeed, CME conferences can be very helpful in advancing one’s knowledge, skill, and building their network of fellows in the same specialty. But to truly make the most out of it, it’s important to choose your conferences carefully. 

Here are some things to consider when you’re choosing a CME Conference to go to.

Look Into The Organizer

Make sure that the group or institution who will be organizing the event is:

  1. Legitimate and accredited
  2. Already has built a good reputation with other organizations

You might want to check their website as well if they have one.  According to Meet in Manchester, one way to spot fraud conferences is their website’s broken links and shoddy design. 

Look The Speakers Up 

Who the speakers and moderators are is a large deciding factor in how well the conference will go. The more experienced and qualified the lecturers are, the better your chances are of learning more. 

Where Will It Be Held? 

If money is a factor with you, location will be an important matter. The farther the conference is, the higher your travel expenses will be. But on the upside, that can also mean a longer break from work, which could be something that you sorely need. 

And if mixing business with pleasure is something that suits your fancy, there are CME cruise ships for medical professionals that take them to various locations around the world, from the Caribbean to the Rhone river in France. Be sure to choose your trip carefully, as each cruise conference is usually centered around only one or two fields of medicine.
