CME in Arkansas

First pass, 2026-08-16.

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

Four research lanes plus direct extraction of both CloudCME tenants and a browser pass over three sites behind bot mitigation. ⭐ THE MOST PROVIDER-CONCENTRATED STATE MEASURED SO FAR, AND THE SMALLEST REGISTRY. Arkansas has just THREE ACCME-registered providers and 437 activities, and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences holds 406 of them — 93 percent. For comparison, Alabama's most dominant provider held 58 percent. The other two are the Arkansas Colleges of Health Education in Fort Smith (22) and St. Bernards Medical Center in Jonesboro (9). ⭐ ARKANSAS HAS NO ACCREDITOR OF ITS OWN, AND TEXAS REACHES IN. It does not appear among ACCME's 28 Recognized Accreditors, and sweeping provider_accredited_by across fifteen states finds no Arkansas accreditor anywhere. Its one intrastate-accredited provider, St. Bernards, is accredited by the TEXAS MEDICAL ASSOCIATION. ⚠️ THAT SWEEP ALSO FALSIFIED A RULE THIS PROJECT WROTE DOWN A FORTNIGHT AGO. The South Carolina pass proposed that an intrastate accreditor's out-of-state reach fills a vacuum and STOPS at the border of a state that has its own accreditor. Measured across fifteen states there are eleven such reaches: ten land in states with no accreditor of their own (573 of 577 activities), and one does not — the Medical Association of Georgia accredits a Denver foundation, and Colorado has the Colorado Medical Society. The DIRECTION holds strongly; the BORDER does not. Missouri is the extreme case, reached into by four distinct out-of-state accreditors (Kentucky, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Illinois), and every state reached by two or more has no accreditor of its own. ⚠️⚠️ THE STATE'S DOMINANT PROVIDER BROKE THE REPO'S OWN CLOUDCME EXTRACTOR, AND THE DEFECT WAS A GUARD ANCHORED ON ONE SIDE ONLY. UAMS publishes a second credit type named 'Non-Physician AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™' — the qualifier is a PREFIX. The extractor's guard, added after a Missouri tenant wrote the same certificate as a SUFFIX, inspected only the text FOLLOWING the designation, so the pattern began at the second 'AMA PRA Category 1', found a bare name after it, and summed both lines. Sixteen of the tenant's twenty rows were reported at exactly double their published credit. It is the identical shape to the South Carolina figure matcher that was unanchored on the LEFT, one file over and on a name rather than a number. Fixed by anchoring the credit-type name at BOTH ends, and verified two ways: the corrected figure matches the activity's own designation statement on 13 of 13 conference detail pages, and a sweep of all 74 CloudCME tenants this project has ever crawled (7,172 rows) found the prefix form on NO other tenant, so the defect never reached seeded data in any earlier state. ⚠️ ON THE SAME TENANT THE LISTING FIGURE IS RELIABLE FOR LIVE ACTIVITIES AND WRONG BY UP TO TEN TIMES FOR ENDURING ONES. Every one of the thirteen live conferences agrees with its designation statement exactly; all three online Preceptor Modules list 5.00 and designate 0.50 or 0.75. The standing rule that the designation wins is not merely a tiebreak here, it is a factor-of-ten correction, and it splits cleanly by activity type. ⚠️⚠️ AND THE SECOND TENANT WAS NEARLY WRITTEN OFF AS 'NEEDS A BROWSER' WHEN THE REPO ALREADY HAD THE ANSWER. Every plain fetch of the Arkansas Colleges of Health Education's CloudCME endpoints returns a complete page shell with ZERO course rows, because the grid is populated by AJAX after load. Replaying the __doPostBack('ApplyFilters') that the Results-Per-Page control fires — which the committed extractor already does — returned the whole 21-activity catalog headlessly. Run the extractor before concluding a CloudCME tenant is browser-only. ⭐ THE CENTRAL CATALOG IS NOT THE STATE, AND THIS IS THE CLEAREST PROOF OF IT YET. ce.uams.edu itself publishes no dated conference at all: its whole sitemap is 21 administrative pages, its 'Upcoming Courses' page lists nothing and its Regularly Scheduled Series page is an internal application form. The real departmental inventory sits elsewhere — the Psychiatric Research Institute's Six Bridges series runs ten dated courses on trainforchange.net and REDCap and appears in the CloudCME catalog not once, the Institute on Aging publishes the geriatrics conference's VENUE which the catalog lacks, and the Department of Neurology publishes the stroke conference's venue AND its audience. Repeatedly, no single publisher carried both the credit figure and the place. ⚠️ THE STATE MEDICAL SOCIETY IS ALSO ITS SPECIALTY SOCIETIES' WEB HOST — the Alabama pattern in a second state. Dermatology, urology, cardiology, psychiatry and ophthalmology all publish at arkmed.org and share its Little Rock management address. But those five hosted pages publish NO DATES AT ALL, while the ophthalmologists run a real dated Bentonville meeting that appears only in UAMS's catalog. For a society layer the accredited provider's catalog is the better instrument than the society's own page — the inverse of the rule that a provider's own site beats a namespace probe. ⚠️ THREE SOCIETY SITES SIT BEHIND CLOUDFLARE MANAGED CHALLENGES that return 403 to every fetch including full browser headers, and all three self-cleared in a real browser. One of them holds the pediatric chapter's entire 2026 conference, whose own /events page is stale at 2024 — a fetch-only pass would have recorded that chapter as publishing nothing while it runs a two-day meeting with a published clinician audience. 'Needs a browser' is never 'publishes nothing'. ⚠️ THE AHEC LAYER DOES NOT EXIST HERE UNDER THAT NAME, which matters because North Carolina's AHECs were that state's largest single source. Arkansas's were renamed UAMS Regional Campuses, there are no per-centre websites, and the umbrella calendar carries health-careers recruitment rather than clinician CME. ⚠️ AN ADVERSARIAL REVIEW OF THIS PASS CORRECTED ITS AUDIENCE RULE, AND THE DEFECT WAS AN INTERNAL CONTRADICTION RATHER THAN A MISREADING. The first draft treated an ANCC contact-hour designation as a basis for claiming a nurse-practitioner audience. It is not: ANCC is nursing credit generally, RN is out of scope for this product, and 'a nurse may claim it' is not 'an NP is the audience'. That produced an NP claim on a conference whose own page calls it 'a 2 day conference for ENT physicians from Arkansas' — the row quoted that sentence and widened past it — and on a Maintenance of Certification in Anesthesiology session. Worse, the same pass REFUSED to widen the family-physicians row on a registration form's 'MD, DO, PA, APRN' field, correctly, while widening the trauma row on a registration FEE TABLE, which is the same kind of evidence: one pass, two opposite rules. The rule is now uniform — AMA PRA Category 1 gives MD/DO, AAPA Category 1 gives PA, and NP is claimed only where a page names nurse practitioners or advanced practice providers in words. Nine rows still claim NP and every one of them is named on its page. This is the Alabama and South Carolina over-claim arriving for a third consecutive state, which is why the audience basis is now written into each row's own note. CREDIT COVERAGE IS UNUSUALLY POLARISED. Eighteen of the 36 seeded rows — exactly half — carry a verified AMA PRA Category 1 figure and almost all of them come from the two accredited providers' platforms; the independent state associations — the trauma society, the hospice and palliative care association, the primary care association, the family physicians, the dermatologists and the medical society's own meetings — publish dates without any usable designation between them. That is the single most consistent gap in the state. KNOWN GAPS: St. Bernards Medical Center returns 403 to every client tried and no page of it was ever read, so its 9 activities are unmeasured; the Arkansas Department of Health's Public Health Grand Rounds is a real designated series stating 'No presentations scheduled at this time'; the pediatric chapter's monthly webinar series publishes every future entry on its public calendar as 'Busy' with no title or venue; the Arkansas Osteopathic Medical Association's next annual conference carries a stale year and no usable date; and no Arkansas state society could be located at all for gastroenterology, nephrology, rheumatology, infectious disease, geriatrics, sports medicine or oncology — recorded as 'no society located', which is not the same as 'no events'.

    Cost not publishedFamily medicine

    Register on host site ↗Add to calendarDetails

    ⚠️ CREDIT UNKNOWN — NOT ZERO. The assembly page publishes no accreditation statement, no designation and no hour figure; its only credit-adjacent sentence is that Saturday's programme 'includes opioid-related education to help physicians meet applicable credit requirements'. No target audience is published — the registration form's 'Professional Designation: MD, DO, PA, APRN, Other' is a form field, not an audience statement, and is deliberately NOT used to widen the audience. ⚠️ CITY: the assembly banner and the venue both say North Little Rock and the agenda points attendees at the Argenta Arts District, which is in North Little Rock; a room-block sentence lower on the same page loosely says 'the Wyndham Hotel in Little Rock'. The venue's own city is used.

    ⚠️ CREDIT UNKNOWN — NOT ZERO. Unlike the A-CRA and CRAFT intensives in the same series, this course publishes no continuing-education document and no hour figure. ⚠️ THE AUDIENCE IS ON THE SERIES' PARENT PAGE, NOT ON THE CATALOG THIS ROW CITES: psychiatry.uams.edu/events/adolescent-sud-training/ publishes it verbatim under 'Who should attend trainings?', naming 'Physicians and psychiatrists', 'Nurse practitioners and registered nurses' and 'Pediatric and primary care providers' alongside several non-clinician professions. The catalog page carries the dates and venues only. Physician assistants are NOT named there, so no PA audience is claimed except where an AAPA designation exists. Provider training in this series is free.

This is the second of two consecutive in-person offerings of the same one-day course — the series also runs it virtually on 20 and 21 August and 16 September 2026, which are not seeded separately. ⚠️ THE AUDIENCE IS ON THE SERIES' PARENT PAGE, NOT ON THE CATALOG THIS ROW CITES: psychiatry.uams.edu/events/adolescent-sud-training/ publishes it verbatim under 'Who should attend trainings?', naming 'Physicians and psychiatrists', 'Nurse practitioners and registered nurses' and 'Pediatric and primary care providers' alongside several non-clinician professions.

    ⚠️ CREDIT AFFIRMED BUT NOT QUANTIFIED — the page states 'CME and MOC 2 credits will be offered for physicians' and 'Certificates confirming participation will be offered to other attendees', with no accrediting body, no category and no hour figure. UNKNOWN, not zero. The audience IS published verbatim and is the basis for the professions here: 'Our conference is open to anyone interested in pediatric health, including: pediatricians, family medicine physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, residents, interns, medical students, and social workers.' Venue: CALS Main Library, 100 S Rock St.

    Register on host site ↗Add to calendarDetails

    ⚠️ CREDIT UNKNOWN — NOT ZERO. The chapter's agenda and registration pages both returned empty bodies and no credit statement of any kind could be read anywhere on arkansasacs.org. ⚠️ VENUE CONFLICT RECORDED: the chapter's own site gives the UAMS Jackson T. Stephens Spine & Neurosciences Institute, 501 Jack Stephens Dr; the American College of Surgeons' national Trumba chapter feed gives the UAMS I. Dod Wilson building, 4301 West Markham. Both are UAMS, both in Little Rock; the chapter's own page is preferred and the conflict is kept rather than silently resolved. No target audience is published.

    In personLittle Rock, ARArkansas Trauma Society

    Cost not publishedRegister by Sep 9Surgery

    Register on host site ↗Add to calendarDetails

    ⚠️ CREDIT UNKNOWN — NOT ZERO. The page says only that the event will be 'packed full of opportunities for Continuing Medical Education', which designates nothing: no accrediting body, no category, no hour figure. ⚠️ NO TARGET AUDIENCE IS PUBLISHED EITHER, so this row is physicians-only by default. Its registration fee table does price 'Physician, Surgeon, PA, APN' separately from 'Nurse, Pharmacist, Other HCP' and from 'EMS/Paramedic' — and a FEE TIER IS NOT AN AUDIENCE STATEMENT. An earlier draft of this row claimed NP and PA on exactly that evidence while the family-physicians row in this same pass correctly refused to widen on a registration form's 'MD, DO, PA, APRN' field: one pass, two opposite rules. Venue: UAMS Jackson T. Stephens Spine & Neurosciences Institute, 501 Jack Stephens Dr. Registration closes 2026-09-09.

    HybridWashington, DCAmerican Psychiatric AssociationSited in DC — attendable remotely

    Register on host site ↗Add to calendarDetails

    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.

    ⚠️ CREDIT-TBA, NOT ABSENT AND NOT ZERO. The page carries a 'Continuing Education' heading whose entire content is 'Continuing Education information coming soon!' — the association has affirmed it intends credit and has not yet designated any. No target audience is published. Venue: Benton Event Center, 17322 I-30, Benton, AR 72019.

    Cost not publishedPrimary care

    Register on host site ↗Add to calendarDetails

    ⚠️ CREDIT UNKNOWN — NOT ZERO. The page publishes no contact-hour figure, no ANCC or AANP statement and no pharmacology hours. ⚠️ CITY CONTRADICTION RECORDED: the event header and venue address give the Statehouse Convention Center, 101 East Markham Street, Little Rock, while a sponsorship paragraph on the same page says 'the 2027 ANPA Annual Conference in Hot Springs'. Hot Springs is where the 2026 conference was held; the venue address is used.

  39. AMS Annual Meeting

    Cost not published

    Register on host site ↗Add to calendarDetails

    ⚠️ CREDIT UNKNOWN — NOT ZERO; the page carries no credit statement and no audience, and its body reads only 'Details TBA'. ⚠️ TITLE/DATE CONTRADICTION RECORDED: the society titles this record '2026 AMS Annual Meeting' while the same page dates it '4/16/2027 - 4/17/2027'. The 2026 annual meeting was held 11 April 2026 and has its own past page, so the dates are the reliable field and the title is stale. Venue: Oaklawn Event Center, 2705 Central Avenue.

    ⚠️ CREDIT UNKNOWN — NOT ZERO. The meeting is dated and venued but explicitly pre-agenda: the page says 'Planning is underway for the 2027 ADS Annual Meeting--check back soon for details!' and '2027 Agenda agenda coming soon'. No attendee registration URL is published yet — only an exhibitor link — so the meeting page itself is used. No target audience is published.

    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.
