All verified Google reviews from physicians and APRNs who attended our 2026 San Diego conference or our livestream. This is why we're bringing it back.
I had a wonderful experience with CME Travel Academy. The live online lectures were high-quality, engaging, and genuinely funny, making the learning process enjoyable. We covered essential topics like hypertension, CKD, ethics, and heart failure, and I love the flexibility of being able to attend from anywhere in the world. What truly set this experience apart was the interactivity. The lecturers gave immediate responses to our questions and provided real-time feedback. They were also incredibly accommodating when we had a sudden change in our schedule. It was a very worthwhile experience, and I highly recommend it to all my IM/FM colleagues.
My wife and I recently completed a CME Travel Academy course, and I was thoroughly impressed by the program's quality. Despite attending while on a cruise, the setting did nothing to diminish the academic rigor; in fact, it proved to be one of the highest-yield educational experiences we have ever participated in for our practice. Dr. Pillai provided excellent, evidence-based updates on CHF and HTN, while Dr. George delivered insightful sessions on CKD and Ethics, with the "Chronic Diseases and Modern Medicine" presentation serving as a particular highlight. Both presenters were incredibly engaging and charismatic, making the high-impact clinical updates easy to follow and immediately applicable to our workflows. Administratively, the scheduling was seamless, and the high-quality downloadable content, along with the promising spaced-repetition tool, adds significant long-term value. I highly recommend this for any clinician looking for rigorous, updated medical education in a fantastic environment.
Excellent. Very informative and I'll be making changes in how I practice after attending the course. I would go again!
Dr Pillai and Dr George are excellent speakers and cover the chronic disease content with authority and confidence. They provide the most current and up to date guideline based treatment recommendations in an easy to understand format. As an added bonus, you have access online to the current lectures and guidelines whenever they are updated which will ensure that you are always providing the most evidence based care to your patients
Dr. Pillai and Dr. George provided a quality, well-rounded, and evidence backed CME weekend in a fantastic venue. They are clearly passionate about the topics presented and have without a doubt put countless hours into preparing their presentations as well as handouts (which were exceptional). I look forward to implementing changes in my practice!
