CME Nurse Practitioner

Earning continuing medical education (CME) is an ongoing priority for nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), registered nurses (RNs), and physicians, and at Skin, Bones, Hearts & Private Parts, we’ve made it our mission to make earning CME fun, affordable, and flexible! By seeking out destination locations for our In-person Conferences and building in virtual access options, we’ve made it possible for our attendees to earn CME Nurse Practitioner credits while also spending time on the beach or at the pool, taking urban adventures, riding roller coasters, or enjoying a concert.

Our CME speakers, all leading thought leaders in their fields, ensure engaging and spirited conversations during their sessions, which encourage active learning and inspire networking with fellow attendees at our CME Conferences. And, while we already offer the best value per CME credit hour in the industry, we also offer early bird and super saver rates to help you maximize your budget.

Where Can You Earn CME Nurse Practitioner Credits in 2026?

Our 2026 In-person CME Conferences, each of which offers up to 26 CME credits, in fact, still offer savings through the end of the year in the following locations:

Of course, the benefits of earning CME go far beyond the credits: “The roles of NPs and PAs are expanding rapidly, and being open to new opportunities can help expand our professions,” said Sarah Bolander, DMSc, PA-C, DFAAPA, a dedicated PA educator specializing in orthopedics who will be presenting at our Destin, Myrtle Beach, Pensacola Beach, and Orlando locations. “My advice is to embrace lifelong learning and seek mentorship early! Build confidence by asking questions, staying curious, and leaning into evidence‑based practice. Prioritize patient‑centered care, but also invest in relationships with colleagues. Collaboration is key in today’s team‑based health systems.”

Flexible CME Nurse Practitioner Options: In-Person, Virtual, and On-Demand

Looking for even more flexibility in earning CME? Our CME Online options include:

  • Virtual CME, which allows you to join the live, in-person CME Conference from anywhere in the world and in real time. You can even join in the conversation, ask questions, and converse with colleagues through the chat function.
  • Our On-demand CME allows you to earn CME credits from anywhere at any time by purchasing a pre-recorded course and learning at your own pace. Our comprehensive, 22-course “Best of the Best of 2025” package, for example, offers 29.25 CME credit hours (Rx = 7) covering practical discussion on managing Atrial Fibrillation, skin and soft tissue infections, diabetes technology, spine assessment, cervical cancer prevention, chronic pain conditions, and more. All of our packages are sourced from our in-person locations, ensuring you’re getting the same up-to-date content as everyone else.
  • Our Encore program is an additional option for earning Online CME, which gives you full access to the recorded sessions from the 2025 conferences, so you can watch when it works for you and earn valuable CME credits along the way. How you complete the course is entirely up to you: Commit four days to CME and knock it out in less than a week. Or, take your time and finish it within two years of its release date.

How Do Nurse Practitioners Choose the Best CME Option?

The best CME Nurse Practitioner option depends on your schedule, specialty, and learning preferences. Many NPs choose a mix of in-person conferences, virtual CME, and on-demand courses to balance flexibility and engagement. Look for accredited programs, relevant specialty topics, clear credit offerings, and experienced speakers. Skin, Bones, Hearts & Private Parts simplifies this process by offering all three formats in one place, making it easier for nurse practitioners to earn CME credits efficiently while gaining practical knowledge that improves patient care.
