The Encore Virtual CME Series from Skin, Bones, Hearts & Private Parts delivers four full days of in-person conference content in a flexible virtual format. Each Encore package is worth up to 37.5 CME credits and 12.50 APRN pharmacology credits. You have up to two years to complete it. Three packages are available: Myrtle Beach, Pensacola Beach, and Orlando, all recorded in 2025.

What Is Virtual CME & Why Choose It?

Virtual CME is continuing medical education delivered digitally rather than in person. It allows nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), registered nurses (RNs), and physicians to earn CME credits from anywhere. Virtual CME can be live-streamed in real time or accessed as pre-recorded content on demand.

At Skin, Bones, Hearts & Private Parts, virtual CME comes in several formats. The Encore Series is our most flexible option because it lets you watch full conference content on your own timeline.

Virtual CME offers several advantages over traditional in-person conferences:

  • Complete flexibility to learn on your schedule
  • No travel costs or time away from your practice
  • Access to the same expert speakers as our in-person events
  • Ability to rewatch complex topics as many times as you need
  • Lower price point than in-person registration
  • Same clinically applicable content, delivered your way

For clinicians balancing a full patient load, virtual CME often makes it possible to earn required credit hours without disrupting practice or family life.

Meet the Encore Virtual CME Series

Maybe you need to earn significant continuing medical education (CME) credit hours. Maybe you have a super tight schedule that makes online CME a better fit. Either way, Skin, Bones, Hearts & Private Parts’ Encore Virtual CME Event Series features four days of content from a complete Skin, Bones, Hearts & Private Parts in-person conference.

Each Encore package is worth up to 37.5 CME credits and 12.50 APRN pharmacology credits. You can commit four days to CME and knock it out in less than a week. Or you can take your time and finish within two years of the release date.

All four options pull content directly from our in-person conferences, so you will learn the same clinically important and useful information from the same conference speakers who are masters in their fields.

Virtual CME vs. In-Person: Which Format Fits You?

The right CME format depends on your goals, schedule, and learning style. Here is a quick way to think about it.

Choose virtual CME if you need flexibility, want to avoid travel costs, prefer to learn at your own pace, or need to earn a large number of credit hours in a compressed timeframe.

Choose in-person CME if you value face-to-face networking, want to combine CME with a destination trip, learn best in a live setting, or want the full immersive conference experience.

You do not have to pick just one. Many clinicians combine virtual CME with an annual in-person conference to hit their credit requirements while still getting the destination experience.

Make this the year you earn the hours you need, exactly how you learn best. Check out our Encore CME Conferences.
