CME in Alabama

First pass, 2026-08-16, five research lanes plus direct platform extraction. ⭐ THE STATE MEDICAL ASSOCIATION IS THE ACCREDITOR, THE ACCREDITED PROVIDER AND THE SOCIETIES' WEB HOST, ALL FROM ONE ADDRESS.

Full coverage note — what was researched, and what the gaps are

The Medical Association of the State of Alabama is an ACCME Recognized Accreditor; the Medical Foundation of Alabama, its own 501(c)(3) at the same street address, is the accredited provider that designates credit for MASA's activities and jointly provides many specialty societies' meetings; and Alabama Specialty Society Management, a third MASA arm at that same address, builds and hosts at least eight state specialty societies' websites and runs their shared events calendar. That is a tighter integration than any state seeded so far, and it explains why so many Alabama society pages share one template and one CME-transcript workflow. ⭐ AND MASA PUBLISHES THE LIST OF PROVIDERS IT ACCREDITS, WHICH MAKES THIS THE FIRST STATE WHOSE INTRASTATE LAYER IS COMPLETE RATHER THAN INFERRED. Its page headed 'Medical Association Accredited CME Providers' names exactly five — Children's of Alabama, College of Community Health Sciences, Huntsville Hospital, Medical Foundation of Alabama and Mobile Infirmary Medical Center — and the ACCME registry attributes exactly five Alabama providers to MASA. The two sources close. Contrast the Southern States CME Collaborative, which publishes no roster at all and had to be reconstructed from provider_accredited_by. ⚠️ MASA RUNS TWO DOMAINS AND ONLY ONE CARRIES THE CME. alamedical.org is the member and education platform; alabamamedicine.org is a separate news-and-advocacy front end on a different IP with no education, events or accreditation navigation at all. A pass that finds only the second concludes the state society does no CME. ⚠️⚠️ THE STATE'S DOMINANT PROVIDER PUBLISHES AN EMPTY LIVE CATALOG, AND THE PLATFORM IS THE WRONG INSTRUMENT FOR IT. UAB holds 719 of Alabama's 1,235 registry activities — 58 per cent of the state — and its public CloudCME tenant returns 'Showing Result 0 - 0 of 0' for live courses to an anonymous fetch. That is not a login wall and not the 10-row cap: the extractor's ApplyFilters postback worked and the online and RSS views return 13 and 3. UAB's own CME site makes it worse by iframing that same empty listing as its 'Live Events' page. Yet UAB genuinely runs conferences — both UAB rows here were found on DEPARTMENTAL sites the catalog never indexes, and a direct-URL activity on the same tenant returns a full record while being absent from all three public tabs. For this one provider the department pages are the right instrument and the platform is the wrong one, which inverts the rule that has held in every other state. ⚠️⚠️ THE STATE'S SECOND-LARGEST PROVIDER HIDES ITS AMA CREDIT ON ANOTHER DOMAIN. Huntsville Hospital's 22nd Annual Perinatal Conference publishes only 'ABN Contact Hours: 7.2' in its Trumba calendar, its .ics feed and its .rss feed — three surfaces that all read as nursing-only. Its 6 AMA PRA Category 1 designation exists solely inside a brochure PDF hosted on hhsys.org rather than huntsvillehospital.org, and was recovered here by downloading and extracting that PDF. THREE of the hospital's five future rows are nursing-only — three Trauma Nursing Core Course sittings — so a crawl of the feed is right three times out of five and drops the one genuinely AMA-designated conference. (An earlier draft said four of five; counted off the live .ics, it is three, and the fifth row is the Trauma Critical Care Conference, whose brochure is still in development.) THE GULF COAST CUTS BOTH WAYS, AND IT IS THIS STATE'S DEFINING GEOGRAPHIC FACT. Alabama societies routinely meet in the FLORIDA panhandle — the emergency physicians at Miramar Beach, the family physicians and the neurosurgeons at Sandestin, the osteopathic association at Miramar Beach — while out-of-state societies meet on the Alabama coast, which is why Louisiana's pathologists and Mississippi's family physicians already held Alabama-sited rows before this pass began. The vascular society meets in GEORGIA. Venue decides the state in every direction, and one Alabama society's 2027 meeting is left unseeded precisely because its page names a resort and prints no city or state. THE NATIONAL LAYER SUBTRACTS TO ALMOST NOTHING, AND THE EXCEPTION WAS MISREAD TWICE. Four national bodies are headquartered in Birmingham. The Southern Medical Association (53 activities) meets in Virginia, Texas and Florida; the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (34) rotates nationally; ProAssurance (52) is a malpractice insurer whose CME is policyholder-only enduring material, verbatim 'As a ProAssurance insured, you can learn ... while earning CME credit', every item carrying an expiry date rather than an event date — the second measured instance of the Louisiana insurer pattern. That is 139 registry activities yielding zero rows. The fourth, the American Sports Medicine Institute, has the registry's SMALLEST count at 3 and is the only one that genuinely puts physicians in an Alabama room: a 12-hour ultrasound course and a weekly series at 1 AMA PRA per session, thirteen sessions in one month. It was recorded first as Birmingham-sited when its flagship course is in Orlando, then as Zoom-only and creditless when its series is in person and credit-bearing — both errors caused by the same page feature, an events index that prints no venue above a footer carrying the institute's headquarters address, 806 vs 833 on the same street. Registry volume ranked these four almost exactly backwards. CREDIT IS BETTER EVIDENCED HERE THAN IN MOST STATES BUT IS STILL NOT UNIFORM. SIXTEEN of the twenty-eight Alabama-sited rows carry a verified AMA PRA Category 1 figure — eleven dated conferences with a designation statement, four recurring series with a published per-session figure, and the licensing board's course, whose hours come from the Board's own Live Courses table. The Grand Rounds row is deliberately NOT among them: its credit TYPE is taken from a catalog facet with no designation sentence anywhere. An earlier draft of this note said seventeen, because it counted rows whose PROSE MENTIONS 'AMA PRA Category 1' rather than rows carrying a figure — the Illinois '120 of 126' defect in a new costume, where counting rows with a creditNotes FIELD gave 120 against a true 59. The rest record credit as UNKNOWN rather than inferred, and none is recorded as zero. The specialty-society layer is the weak half: the cardiology chapter's event pages are under 800 characters and publish a date and a venue and nothing else, the psychiatrists and the addiction-medicine society say 'earn CME' with no figure and no accreditor, and the family physicians' academy says 'up to 14 hours of CME' while naming neither AAFP Prescribed nor AMA PRA, so its currency is genuinely unstated rather than merely unread. THE COUNTY LAYER IS ACTIVE AND PUBLISHES NO CME — A DIFFERENT SHAPE FROM MISSISSIPPI'S. Mississippi has fifteen regional component societies and not one website; Alabama has real county societies with real live calendars, and those calendars are social and governance. Jefferson County runs a nature-preserve hike, Madison County a new-physician reception and board meetings, and Mobile County is the only one with a page actually titled for CME — abandoned, its newest item dated October 2020. MASA publishes no county directory, so this roster of four is a floor, not an enumeration. ⚠️ A DNS probe found montgomerycountymedicalsociety.org live and it is NEW YORK'S, a Medical Society of the State of New York component; it is not ingested. THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND THE AHEC NETWORK BOTH FAIL ON CREDIT TYPE, NOT ON EMPTINESS. The Alabama Public Health Training Network runs an active webcast programme whose own flyer names the eligible disciplines as 'nurses, social workers, and paraprofessionals'. The Alabama AHEC network — six HRSA centers plus an independent one — states that it 'has been approved by the Alabama Board of Nursing to provide Alabama nursing continuing education contact hours' and publishes no AMA PRA anywhere. Alabama is therefore the MICHIGAN shape of AHEC state, not the North Carolina shape where the AHECs are the CME layer. ⭐ THE HIGHEST-YIELD SOURCE IN THE STATE IS A LICENSING-BOARD PDF THAT NO REGISTRY SWEEP REACHES. The Alabama Board of Medical Examiners is itself a live CME provider: it requires 25 AMA PRA Category 1 credits a year of physicians and 50 every two years of physician assistants, and then teaches the controlled-substances course, with credit designated by the Medical Foundation of Alabama. Its approved-course PDF carries a 'Live Courses (In-person)' table with dates, cities and hour counts. ⚠️ THAT PDF PUBLISHES MORE THAN THE BOARD'S OWN WEB PAGE FOR THE SAME COURSE, which says only that registration for 'the November 2026 ... Conference is coming soon!' — a month and a year against the PDF's November 20-22 and Birmingham. Two surfaces from one publisher at different resolutions. KNOWN GAPS, RESEARCHED AND ACCEPTED. The University of South Alabama's Critical Care Review Conference is dated 2026-11-09 to 2026-11-13 at 39.25 AMA PRA Category 1 and is NOT seeded because the catalog's facility fields are null and Mobile must not be assumed. The Alabama Primary Health Care Association's 41st Annual Conference is real, dated and sited at Gulf Shores, and is withdrawn rather than seeded: it publishes no credit and no audience, its registration site fails with a header-overflow parse error, and seeding it would force a fabricated profession onto the row. The Alabama Hospital Association's calendar is behind a genuine members-only content wall, so it is UNREAD rather than empty. Mobile Infirmary has one AMA-designated activity carrying no date in any form. EthosCE could not be probed soundly at all — every name resolves to one catch-all host and no positive control could be obtained — so its absence here is untested, not measured. cmecourses.som.uab.edu, which may hold UAB's missing live catalog, failed to connect.

    Cost not publishedHospice & palliative

    Register on host site ↗Add to calendarDetails

    Credit UNKNOWN — the page publishes no accreditation or designation statement of any kind. ⚠️ It does contain the word 'credit' five times, every one of them about CREDIT CARDS for hotel and travel reimbursement, so a keyword scan for 'credit' returns a false positive on this page while an AMA PRA scan correctly returns nothing. Registration categories name the clinician audience: 'physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, residents, fellows'. Found on a UAB DEPARTMENTAL site — it does not appear in UAB's CloudCME catalog, which publishes zero live courses.

  9. NPAA 20th Annual Conference — 20 Years of Impact: Honoring Our Legacy and Advancing Our Future

    NPAA member $225; non-member $250Primary care

    Register on host site ↗Add to calendarDetails

    Credit UNKNOWN, and the currency is nursing contact hours rather than AMA PRA: 'Earn high-quality continuing education hours, including pharmacology content' with no figure and no accreditor. ⚠️ The society's /Events LISTING shows 'approved for 1.2 contact hour(s)' against this row while the detail page names no hours at all; 1.2 hours is implausible for a three-day conference and is treated as bleed-over from another record, so it is deliberately NOT carried. Audience verbatim: 'Nurse Practitioners (All Specialties), NP Students, Faculty & Educators, Healthcare Leaders & Administrators, Industry Partners & Exhibitors' — it names no physician, so this row claims NP alone.

    Credit UNKNOWN — no AMA PRA string appears anywhere on the page. ⚠️ THIS EVENT IS ABSENT FROM UAB'S CLOUDCME CATALOG ENTIRELY, which publicly reports zero live courses; it was found on the department's own site. Its published weekdays ('Thursday and Friday, Oct. 1-2, 2026') resolve uniquely to 2026. Venue: The Marnix E. Heersink Conference Center, 1720 2nd Avenue S, Birmingham AL 35294.

    UNKNOWN, not zero, and deliberately not assumed. The APA is ACCME-accredited and is DC's largest registrant at 808 activities, but this event's own page carries NO credit figure, NO AMA PRA Category 1 designation and NO accreditation statement — the full agenda is published and the credit section simply does not exist. Audience published as 'all individuals who are passionate about supporting, developing, and championing women leaders in medicine, including: Medical Students, Residents & Fellows, Practicing Physicians, Academic Faculty, Department & Division Leaders, Physician Executives, Health System Leaders, Researchers' — physicians throughout, with no nurse-practitioner or physician-assistant category, so neither is claimed.

  12. APPA Fall Conference 2026

    Cost not publishedPsychiatry

    Register on host site ↗Add to calendarDetails

    Credit UNKNOWN. The page invites attendees to 'earn continuing medical education credits' and publishes no figure and no accrediting body; it states only that transcripts appear via the Medical Association of the State of Alabama six weeks after the event. That workflow implies the Medical Foundation of Alabama is the accredited provider, as it is for the neurology academy, but the Foundation is not named on this page and the inference is not asserted. Venue: Renaissance Shoals Resort and Spa, 10 Hightower Pl, Florence AL 35630.

    Register on host site ↗Add to calendarDetails

    Credit UNKNOWN, stated by the provider itself: 'Registration, agenda and CEU information will be available soon.' The listing's credit cell is empty and the page carries no 'designates' sentence — recorded as unknown, never as zero, and none of this provider's other figures are carried onto it. ⚠️ AUDIENCE IS WEAKLY EVIDENCED: there is no target-audience statement, and the only enumeration is EXHIBITOR marketing copy naming 'pediatric nurses, nurse practitioners, physicians, respiratory therapists and EMTs from across the state of Alabama'. Physicians and NPs are named there, and the host is a MASA-accredited physician-CME provider, so MD/DO/NP is claimed and PA is not. Re-check when the CEU information posts.

    Cost not publishedPathology

    Register on host site ↗Add to calendarDetails

    ⚠️ A LOUISIANA SOCIETY MEETING IN ALABAMA — the state code and timezone follow the VENUE, not the publisher, so this row answers an Alabama search and not a Louisiana one even though the organization is Louisiana's. Orange Beach, Alabama is in the Central time zone, so the zone is unchanged; the state is not. This is the Gulf South pattern the Louisiana pass met twice — the family physicians' academy holds its annual assembly in Sandestin, Florida and the Foundation for Wellness holds its Wellness Summit in Point Clear, Alabama. CREDIT UNKNOWN: the society's events page publishes dates and venue only — verbatim 'Sat Oct 24 2026 - Sun Oct 25 2026' and 'Perdido Beach Resort' — with no designation, no audience, no price and no registration link, all of which sit behind a flyer PDF that was not read.

    Cost not publishedFamily medicine

    Register on host site ↗Add to calendarDetails

    Credit UNKNOWN — MAFP publishes no credit figure for any of its events, in either AAFP Prescribed or AMA PRA currency. Dates come from the society's calendar page; the event page itself says only 'Registration will open soon'. A Mississippi society meeting out of state; filed to ALABAMA on its venue. ⚠️ Not to be confused with the Michigan AFP, whose conference venue is also called 'The Grand Hotel' (Mackinac Island, Michigan).

  18. 15th Annual Trauma Critical Care Conference: One Team One Mission

    Cost not publishedCritical care

    Register on host site ↗Add to calendarDetails

    Credit UNKNOWN, stated by the provider: 'Conference brochure is currently in development and will be available soon.' Recorded as unknown rather than zero, and the figure designated for this hospital's Perinatal Conference is deliberately NOT carried across — it belongs to a different brochure for a different activity, and is deliberately not restated here even to disclaim it, because a numeral in a credit note is indistinguishable to any scanner from a numeral this row claims. Given the Perinatal case, expect this conference's AMA designation to appear only in the brochure PDF once published, not on the calendar. Venue: Jackson Center at HudsonAlpha, 6001 Moquin Drive NW, Huntsville AL 35806.

    Credit UNKNOWN — same thin page shape as the chapter's winter conference: date and venue only. ⚠️ 'The Grand Hotel' is a homograph across states: the Mississippi Academy of Family Physicians' Fall Conference is at this same Point Clear property, while the MICHIGAN family physicians' academy meets at a different Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island. Venue name alone never identifies a state.

    Joint accreditation verbatim: 'Postgraduate Institute for Medicine is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.' ⚠️ THE DESIGNATION DEFERS TO A CHART: 'The Postgraduate Institute for Medicine designates this live activity for a maximum of credits as listed in the chart below' — and the chart is not extractable without a browser, so the 2027 hour total is UNKNOWN. The prior year's marketed 'up to 26 CME credits' has deliberately NOT been carried across. ⚠️ PUBLISHER TYPO: the site's own navigation reads 'Myrtle Beach, FL' on every page while the conference page, breadcrumb and the venue address (9800 Queensway Blvd, Myrtle Beach, SC 29572) all say South Carolina. SC is correct.

    ONE row standing for the monthly programme. Published cadence verbatim: 'Beginning in February 2025, Grand Rounds offerings occur on the first Tuesday of every month, from 12:30 - 1:30 pm CT.' Item pages publish 'Total Credits: 1.0' and NO prose designation statement; the catalog's Credit Types facet lists exactly one type, 'AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™', so the type is taken from the facet and is recorded as UNVERIFIED against a designation sentence. Free ($0.00). Audience verbatim: 'All health-care professionals, faculty, residents, fellows, and medical students are invited to participate.'
