What if your CME could go wherever you go? Picture finishing your credits from a ski lodge in Colorado, a golf resort in Arizona, a beach rental in Florida, or a cruise ship cabin with strong Wi-Fi, then spending the rest of the day on the trip you actually planned. That is the idea behind CME Live: Your Location, our livestream CME option. You join the same live conference as the clinicians in the room, with the same faculty, the same agenda, and real-time Q&A, from your home, your office, or the travel destination of your choice.
Choose the 5-hour evening livestream, offered monthly most months, or the full 12-hour livestream of our existing conferences, which earns 12 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ including 1 hour of Ethics. Either way, you are not tied to a conference hotel. If you need family medicine CME or internal medicine CME that fits around a full schedule, this is the format to look at first.
Spotlight: CME Live: Your Location
Attend a live CME conference from home, the office, or the destination you choose. Pick the format that fits your calendar.
✓ 5-Hour Evening Livestream, $695. Two evenings, 6:30 to 9:00 pm CT, 5 CME hours. Upcoming dates: October 29-30, November 23-24, and December 21-22, 2026.
✓ 12-Hour Conference Livestream, $995. Two full days broadcast live from our destination conferences, with 12 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ including 1 hour of Ethics.
The 12-hour livestream from Las Vegas on December 18-19, 2026 is $895 during the Fall Sale, which ends October 31.
Take Your CME on the Road
The best part of livestream CME is that your location is your choice. Heading to the mountains for a ski week? Log in from the lodge and hit the slopes afterward. Booked a golf getaway? Finish your session over coffee and make your tee time. Spending a month at a beach house, visiting family across the country, or sailing on a cruise? Bring your laptop and a reliable connection, and your CME comes along for the ride. This is CME travel on your own terms, with no conference hotel, no airfare tied to a specific city, and no choice between your credits and your vacation.
A few practical tips: confirm your Wi-Fi speed before you commit (cruise ship and remote lodge connections can be limited), pick a quiet spot, and use headphones. Prefer to keep it simple? The 5-hour evening course is offered about once a month, so you can plan a vacation around those dates and keep your days completely free.
What “Live” Really Means
Livestream CME is not a pile of recorded videos. CME Live: Your Location is a real-time broadcast, so you hear the cases as they are taught and you can put your questions to the faculty during the session. Your certificate carries a Live CME designation along with the date and location. Registration materials, including your livestream link and calendar invite, arrive within 24 hours, and session recordings are available within 48 hours if a patient emergency pulls you away.
Board and license rules differ, so confirm that live-streamed credit satisfies your own requirements. Our CME credit statement lays out the accreditation details, and you can preview a sample CME certificate before you register.
Which Format Fits Your Schedule?
The 5-hour evening course suits clinicians who want to learn without giving up a clinic day. It covers four high-yield topics in two evening sessions: stroke and TIA with atrial fibrillation, resistant hypertension and hypertensive urgency, common dermatology presentations, and rheumatology. It is a strong primary care CME refresher, offered about once a month (next: October 29-30, November 23-24, and December 21-22), so you can build a trip around the date that suits you.
Need dates of your own? Our Custom CME 5-hour plan covers the same high-yield course live over Google Meet on dates you choose, for $995 per clinician. If one of the scheduled evening dates works for you, CME Live: Your Location delivers the same course content for $695, a savings of $300.
The 12-hour conference livestream is the full experience, built to meet a complete CME requirement in two days. It includes the Ethics hour, the 12-month spaced-repetition curriculum, and the point-of-care reference library.
What You Will Cover in the 12-Hour Course
The agenda follows the chronic diseases you manage every day, built on current guidance rather than last year’s slides.
Day One.
✓ Asthma, aligned with the GINA strategy report
✓ Hypertension and resistant hypertension
✓ Chronic kidney disease
✓ COPD, aligned with the GOLD report
✓ Chronic coronary disease
✓ Dementia
Day Two.
✓ Heart failure
✓ Type 2 diabetes, per the ADA 2026 Standards of Care, and obesity
✓ Depression
✓ Ethics: the Rise of Chronic Disease (1 hour)
✓ Rapid Review of all topics
Make Your Livestream Session Work
Treat the session like a flight: block the dates, ask your team to cover messages, and silence notifications. A notepad and a quiet room go a long way.

Learning That Lasts After the Broadcast
Attending is only half the job; remembering is the other half. Research on the spacing effect, including the widely cited review of distributed practice by Cepeda and colleagues, shows that spreading review over time improves retention. That is why the 12-hour livestream includes a 12-month spaced-repetition curriculum. See how it works in our post on the spaced repetition CME curriculum. You also get one-page point-of-care references, and many more are free in the CME Travel Academy Foundation library. For flexible study between live dates, browse our online on-demand CME courses.
Pricing, Discounts, and Credits
The 5-hour livestream is $695 and the 12-hour livestream is $995, with the December 18-19 Las Vegas livestream at $895 through October 31. Military clinicians save $100, resident physicians save $200, and medical students can email info@cmetravelacademy.com for discounted pricing. Refer a colleague and you save $100 while they save $50. No airfare tied to a conference city is needed, so your travel plans stay yours. If you plan to deduct CME costs, ask your tax advisor and review IRS Publication 463.
