Advancing Your Career Through Continuing Medical Education

SC Hilton Head Continuing Medical Education

Skin, Bones, Hearts & Private Parts prides itself on “Making Medical Meetings Fun,” with our focus on destination locations for our in-person continuing medical education (CME) Conferences; top-notch, thought-leading, and engaging speakers; and a conference schedule that always incorporates time for networking and enjoying the perks that come along with conferences held by the beach, in vibrant cities, or near entertainment parks.

How Destination Conferences Enhance Continuing Medical Education

This year, we have scheduled nine continuing medical education (CME) Conferences, and the earlier you make your plans, the more you save on registration. One of our newest locations, Hilton Head, is fast becoming a favorite, and we are confident you’ll love this Lowcountry region’s white-sand beaches, tidal creeks, and towering live oaks. Take your pick of world-class golf courses, bike the beach or some of its 100 miles of paved trails, explore the town lighthouse, enjoy the Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge, or go dolphin and whale watching. No matter your preference, you’ll quickly discover why Hilton Head has been ranked by Condé Nast Traveler as America’s Favorite Island.

We’ll be at Hilton Head July 21-24 in 2026. Our Super Saver offer ends March 21, so register soon and save $200!

We’re confident you’ll quickly understand why Carmen, an NP from Idaho, loved her Hilton Head experience, thanks to the “reliable education, great atmosphere, fun resorts, and relaxation from all the hard work,” or why Alison and her sister Erin, both from Indiana, found Hilton Head the perfect spot for combining CME and vacation, as their families have been vacationing in Hilton Head for over 30 years and said, “It’s a second home for us, and we were so excited about learning while also relaxing on the island!”
