The Problem: A Staggering Gap in HFrEF Care
There is a wide and well-documented gap between guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) and actual prescribing patterns in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.
Less than 1% of HFrEF patients are on target doses of all three traditional GDMT classes — let alone all four pillars including SGLT2i.

This under-treatment drives avoidable hospitalizations, increased mortality, and inflated healthcare costs — and it shows up directly in your value-based care quality scores.
How It Works
A framework for sustained, clinic-wide impact — not a one-time lunch-and-learn.
Onsite CME Education
1.5 hours of engaging, evidence-based, CME-accredited learning delivered at your clinic by founding faculty.
Point-of-Care Reference
A one-page tool your team can use in the exam room — concise, actionable, GDMT-aligned. See sample →
12-Month Spaced Repetition
Review questions delivered at scientifically-spaced intervals to ensure retention and behavior change.
Measured Outcomes
Clinic-wide alignment on GDMT pillars. Fewer hospitalizations. Better quality scores. Real ROI.

What Clinicians Say
From physicians who've trained with our faculty across our CME conferences, online courses, and onsite programs.
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.

Yes. We currently lead with HFrEF because the GDMT gap is so large and the ROI math is so clean. We also build similar programs for type 2 diabetes, CKD, COPD, and obesity. Custom CME™ programs can be scoped on a discovery call.
Preventing a single HFrEF hospitalization (typical cost ~$15K–$30K) covers the entire program. Most clinics see additional value through improved value-based care quality measures, reduced 30-day readmissions, and standardized prescribing across their team.
This is a clinic/organization-level program. For individual clinicians attending our conferences or livestreams: $100 off for military, $200 off for resident physicians, and special pricing for medical students — email info@cmetravelacademy.com.
If cancelled within 7 days of purchase: 100% refund minus a $75 processing fee, or transfer to another CME Travel Academy program within 12 months. After 7 days: transfer to another program or access to our online CME course library.
