Hi, I’m Dr. X
Your Travel CME Guide!
I help physicians learn how to make the most of their CME funds, travel smart, and choose credible programs that truly count.
💡 SECTION 1: What Is Travel CME?
Text“Travel CME means earning accredited continuing medical education while you travel — on a cruise, at a beach, or even during a family getaway.”
For physicians, it’s the perfect blend of learning, relaxation, and professional growth.
• Earn AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™
• Explore new destinations
• Use your annual CME funds wisely
• Recharge — without losing momentum
🎯 SECTION 2: Why Travel CME Makes Sense
1️⃣ Efficiency – Turn downtime into professional development.
2️⃣ Well-being – Balance learning with rest to prevent burnout.
3️⃣ Value – Many employers reimburse accredited CME travel.
4️⃣ Variety – Choose live, online, or hybrid formats that fit your life.
🧭 SECTION 3: How to Choose the Right Program
Dr. X’s Checklist:
✅ Is it accredited by ACCME or an equivalent body?
✅ Does it offer AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ or equivalent?
✅ Is the content relevant to your specialty or career path?
✅ Can you complete it during your actual trip (dates and hours match)?
✅ Will you get proper documentation (CME certificate and attendance proof)?
⚠️ SECTION 4: Avoiding Scams & Pitfalls
“Not all CME offers are legit,” warns Dr. X
❌ Be wary of non-accredited providers.
❌ Avoid programs that promise huge credits for no work.
❌ If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
✅ Always confirm the provider’s accreditation and review refund policies before paying.
🧾 SECTION 5: Tax & Documentation Tips
Dr. X reminds you:
Keep everything!
• CME certificate showing hours and credit type
• Itinerary and receipts

• If possible, get a letter confirming completion during travelDisclaimer: This site is for educational purposes only and does not provide tax or legal advice. Always consult a qualified professional for your specific situation.
