What Makes Skin Bones CME Different?
Beyond the testimonials, several specific features make Skin Bones CME stand out as a CME provider for NPs, PAs, RNs, and physicians.
NPs and PAs lead the sessions. Most of our speakers are practicing nurse practitioners and physician assistants themselves. They understand the realities of clinical practice and deliver content from that perspective.
Destination locations make CME feel like a getaway. We host conferences in cities like Myrtle Beach, Nashville, Denver, Orlando, and Las Vegas, so attendees can combine professional development with travel.
Flexible formats fit every schedule. Every in-person conference is also available via live virtual access, and our on-demand library lets you earn CME from anywhere, at any time.
Best value per CME credit in the industry. Across in-person, virtual, and on-demand options, Skin Bones CME consistently delivers more credit hours per dollar than competing providers.
Practical, immediately applicable content. Every session is designed around evidence-based clinical takeaways you can use in patient care the following Monday.
Is CME Effective? What the Research Shows
A study published in the National Library of Medicine examined whether CME facilitates lifelong learning and serves as a fundamental factor in the maintenance of certification. The research found that CME appears useful for the acquisition and retention of knowledge, attitudes, skills, behaviors, and clinical outcomes. Improved CME practice must in turn lead to continuing critical reflection, practice modification, and implementation focused on excellence in patient care.
At Skin, Bones, Hearts & Private Parts, we focus specifically on information that practitioners can use in their everyday practice. Our speakers pride themselves on providing takeaways attendees can put to use immediately. That is a primary reason our speakers are themselves nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), registered nurses (RNs), and physicians.
