What if your next CME requirement came with a side of roller coasters, a waterfront dinner, and a family vacation? That’s not a hypothetical — it’s July 17–18, 2026 at CME Travel Academy’s Walt Disney World CME Conference, held at the Drury Plaza Hotel in the Disney Springs® Area, Orlando, Florida.
This is accredited, evidence-based continuing medical education — 12 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ including 1 hour of Ethics CME — delivered by actively practicing physicians with zero commercial bias, zero sponsored speakers, and zero fluff. Morning sessions run from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. both days. The rest of the day is yours: Disney parks, Disney Springs, family time, or a long lunch by the water. This is the format busy clinicians have been asking for.
With the conference less than three weeks away, seats are filling quickly. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to knock out your annual CME hours while doing something your family will actually love, this is it.

What You’ll Learn — 12 Hours of Accredited Primary Care CME
CME Travel Academy’s curriculum is built around the chronic diseases that fill primary care panels every day. The 2026 conference covers the most updated guidelines and landmark trial data across ten major topic areas, delivered by faculty who are actively practicing — not career lecturers or industry consultants.
Topics covered include:
✓ Heart Failure: Four pillars of GDMT, SGLT2 inhibitors for HFpEF, updated AHA/ACC/HFSA guidelines
✓ Type 2 Diabetes: 2026 ADA Standards of Care, AACE algorithm, comorbidity-first GLP-1/SGLT2 therapy, CGM indications
✓ Hypertension: 2025 AHA/ACC guideline updates, universal <130/80 target, PREVENT calculator
✓ Chronic Kidney Disease: KDIGO 2024, four pillars of kidney protection, finerenone, FLOW trial
✓ Asthma & COPD: GINA 2026 asthma strategy, GOLD COPD guidelines, eosinophil-guided therapy
✓ Obesity & GLP-1s: Tirzepatide, semaglutide, 2023 AHA obesity guideline, SURMOUNT & STEP trials
✓ Depression: PHQ-9 in practice, pharmacotherapy updates, collaborative care models
✓ Dementia: Early detection, risk factor modification, updated USPSTF guidance
✓ Ethics CME (1 hour): Required ethics content — satisfies most state board ethics mandates
Every session is updated to 2025–2026 guidelines. You’ll receive one-page point-of-care reference cards for every topic, ready to use at the bedside from day one, plus access to a 12-month spaced-repetition retention curriculum via our online platform — so what you learn actually sticks. Explore our full online on-demand CME course library for year-round learning.
Your Faculty — Actively Practicing. Zero Commercial Bias.
Every session is taught by Dr. Vimal T. George, MD, MSc and Dr. Anush S. Pillai, DO, FAAFP — both actively practicing family physicians and nationally recognized educators. Dr. George is a TEDx speaker and author; Dr. Pillai is a residency program director, author, and national speaker.
There are no sponsored speakers. No pharmaceutical industry funding. No branded pens on the table. Just two physicians who see patients, know the guidelines, and know how to teach them.
