Skin, Bones, Hearts & Private Parts offers CME courses in both free and for-credit formats. The FREE Master Clinician Series delivers a 30-minute live Zoom webinar every first Friday at 12:00pm EST, covering timely clinical topics. For credit hours, three remaining 2026 in-person conferences (Orlando, Denver, and Las Vegas) plus virtual, on-demand, and Encore CME courses are all available.
What Are Skin Bones CME Courses?
Skin Bones offers CME courses across the widest possible range of formats, giving NPs, PAs, RNs, and physicians full flexibility over how, when, and where they learn. Some CME courses are free and non-credit, designed for pure knowledge gain. Other CME courses are for-credit, counting toward licensure and certification requirements.
Both types share the same commitment to expert speakers, evidence-based content, and immediately applicable clinical takeaways. That commitment is what makes Skin Bones CME courses different from the average continuing medical education offering.
FREE Master Clinician Series: Monthly Live CME Courses
Sometimes, it just feels good to learn for the sake of learning, with no pressure, no fees, and no expectations beyond enjoying some takeaways you can put into practice right away. That is the goal behind Skin, Bones, Hearts & Private Parts’ FREE 30-minute live Zoom webinars, offered on the first Friday of every month at 12:00pm EST.
While these sessions are non-credit CME courses, any NP, PA, RN, or physician looking to expand their knowledge will find the half-hour well worth their time. Every session is focused on timely topics and common healthcare challenges, presented by some of the best speakers on our faculty. Attending is a great way to connect with our experts, learn more about our teaching style, and spark new clinical ideas.
2026 Master Clinician Series Topics
Our 2026 monthly CME courses cover a broad range of clinical topics designed for primary care, urgent care, and specialty NPs and PAs:
- Contraception
- Dermatologic diagnostics
- Heart failure
- Hand lacerations
- Fracture eponyms
- EKGs
- Menopausal hormone therapy
- Exercise and nutrition
- Sports injuries in an active older adult
Each topic is chosen because it reflects the questions clinicians actually face in daily practice. You can find out more and register for upcoming sessions on the Master Clinician Series page.
Is Online Learning as Effective as In-Person CME Courses?
Yes. Online CME has been shown to be an effective alternative to face-to-face delivery. The Pharmacotherapies Accreditation Course (PAC) studied the effectiveness of an online CME workshop and documented meaningful learning outcomes.
“Online CME environments that provide learners with flexible opportunities to engage in authentic, interactive, and self-directed learning activities, have been shown to not only facilitate participant engagement and collaboration, but also to improve learners’ acquisition of knowledge and skill and facilitate transfer beyond the initial context of learning,” the study showed.
That research is why Skin Bones has invested so heavily in virtual, on-demand, and hybrid CME courses. Effectiveness does not depend on the format when the content and speakers are strong.

How to Choose the Right CME Courses for Your Practice
With so many CME courses available, choosing the right one depends on a few key factors:
- Whether you need credit hours or just want to learn
- Your specialty focus and clinical priorities
- Your available time and scheduling flexibility
- Whether you prefer live interaction or self-paced learning
- Your travel preferences and budget
For example, the free Master Clinician Series is ideal for clinicians who want quick, low-commitment learning without credit tracking. In-person destination conferences suit those who want to combine CME with a working getaway. On-demand CME courses fit best for clinicians who need maximum schedule flexibility.
