CME in District of Columbia

First pass, 2026-08-13, four research lanes plus direct platform extraction and a serialized browser pass.

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

THE REGISTRY IS A LIST OF NATIONAL SOCIETIES, NOT LOCAL PROVIDERS, AND THIS IS THE EXTREME CASE: 26 accredited providers and 3,982 activities, but the top of the table is the American Psychiatric Association at 808, the American College of Cardiology Foundation at 260, the American College of Preventive Medicine at 220, SCAI at 159, the Red Cross at 143, ACOG at 122, the Heart Rhythm Society at 108, the Endocrine Society, AMIA, NCQA, ASH, ASN, AACAP, APHA, the Association of Black Cardiologists, SMFM, ADLM and the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis foundation — eighteen national bodies. They are here because this is where medicine lobbies, and they meet wherever they choose. Subtract them and the District has eight providers, not twenty-six. SIXTEEN OF THE EIGHTEEN WERE READ SOCIETY BY SOCIETY AND EXACTLY TWO HOLD AN UPCOMING ACTIVITY IN WASHINGTON — the APA's Women's Leadership Institute at its own headquarters and ASH's Highlights of ASH, one of four city legs. Of the remaining two, the hypnosis foundation was checked and holds nothing upcoming here, and the American Red Cross (143 activities) was NOT read: its CME page returns HTTP 410. THREE NEAR-DC TRAPS SIT IN THAT SAME TABLE: APHA meets in Arlington VA, and SMFM and NCQA both meet at the Gaylord in National Harbor MD — inside the metro, outside the District. Every row here carries its venue's jurisdiction, never its provider's address. THE LOCAL LAYER IS MEDSTAR AND THREE MEDICAL SCHOOLS: MedStar's CloudCME tenant holds eight DC-sited conferences (two at MedStar Georgetown), Children's National publishes fifteen activities against 307 in the registry, and George Washington and Howard run grand-rounds programmes. GEORGETOWN PUBLISHES NO CME OF ITS OWN — CENTILE's page states MedStar Health holds the joint accreditation for Georgetown-affiliated activity, which is why Georgetown is absent from the registry; HOWARD IS ABSENT TOO YET RUNS ITS OWN CME OFFICE, so absence is evidence and not proof, twice over in one state. GW'S FOUR LIVE COURSES ARE ALL HELD OUTSIDE THE DISTRICT (Arlington, McLean, Bethesda, Falls Church) and Children's National's flagship conferences are in Bethesda, Rockville and Keystone CO, so both institutions contribute far less DC inventory than their catalogs suggest. THE DISTRICT HAS NO ACCREDITOR OF ITS OWN: MSDC is not an ACCME Recognized Accreditor (a search summary claimed otherwise and ACCME's own page contradicts it), and MedChi reaches in from Maryland — its 48-name roster hides at least seven DC organizations, two of which are not stale but CLOSED (United Medical Center in April 2025, Providence Hospital in 2019). KNOWN GAPS, RESEARCHED AND ACCEPTED: the DC Metropolitan Radiological Society states it holds five CME meetings a year and publishes not one date; the ACS chapter's only listed event is dated 'TBD'; the DC AAP chapter and the family-physician academy publish no dated activity; the Washington Psychiatric Society titles a series 'CME' with no accreditation statement anywhere on its site; Mid-Atlantic Permanente's CME is an internal physician benefit with no public catalog; the National Abortion Federation's meeting is restricted to members and Planned Parenthood staff; the New Washington School of Psychiatry's ce-go tenant renders empty in a real browser and its own programmes publish generic 'CEs' with no physician designation; and the DC Academy of Physician Assistants' events page 403s. DC's licence rule is worth knowing: 50 hours every two years including two in LGBTQ cultural competency, five in a published public-health priority and one pharmacology course.

  1. 2026 Practical Pediatrics CME Course - Washington, DC

    In personWashington, DCAmerican Academy of Pediatrics

    Early-bird rates published, saving $165 if booked by 2026-08-04 — that deadline is already past.Pediatrics

    Register on host site ↗Add to calendarDetails

    Credit published verbatim as 'MAXIMUM AMA PRA CATEGORY 1 CREDITS™ FOR COURSE: 21.5', plus 17 MOC Part 2 points through the AAP MOC Portfolio Program (American Board of Pediatrics), earned only by attending in person and passing a post-test. Target audience verbatim: 'Designed for pediatricians, family physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants caring for children' — all four professions named outright. Enduring content is available to live attendees only, 2026-09-06 to 2027-03-06.

  2. 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.

  3. Credit unknown, not zero — no hour count is published by the source. Measured 2026-08-13 from the symposium's own site: credit is claimed through a THIRD PARTY, AKH Inc. (akhcme.com/code/MACCS with an attendance code), and the CEU-Information page's 'Accreditation Information' heading has no text beneath it — so no designation is published by anyone. A Maryland pass re-seeded this event and the duplicate was removed; the Maryland ACC chapter is a co-sponsor, recorded on md-macc.

  4. ASH is ACCME-accredited: 'The American Society of Hematology (ASH) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education (CME) for physicians.' The meeting page states 'Attendees can earn continuing medical education (CME) credits for physicians, while non-physicians and other health care professionals may receive a Certificate of Completion' — so physicians are the credited audience and non-physicians explicitly are not, which is why NP and PA are not claimed. ⚠️ HOURS ARE NOT PUBLISHED FOR THIS DC INSTANCE. A 13.00-credit figure appears on ASH's society CME page but under a '2026 Highlights of ASH' heading, and Highlights runs four cities per cycle, so that figure is NOT imported here.

  5. The conference page states 'Approved for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™'. ⚠️ NO HOUR FIGURE IS PUBLISHED FOR 2027 — the site's CME credit statement page is still the 2026 one, and this project does not import a prior year's figure onto a future instance. Registration is not yet open (an interest list only). No target audience is published; audience narrowed to physicians.

    ⚠️ CREDIT TYPES, NOT A DESIGNATION. The site publishes 'Up to 16 contact hours available, including CME, ANCC, CPE, AAPA, AWSB, and CHES' — that names which credit systems are involved and a combined ceiling, but it is not an AMA PRA Category 1 designation statement and it does not say how many physician hours are designated. HealthHIV is jointly accredited (ACCME/ACPE/ANCC) and its enduring HIV Prevention Certified Provider programme carries 'a maximum of up to 8.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™', so physician credit is plausible here — but plausible is not published. ⚠️ AND THE SAME SENTENCE IS NOT AN AUDIENCE EITHER: an earlier version of this row read NP and PA out of the 'AAPA' and 'CME' entries in that list, which is the standing rule inverted — a credit type is not an audience. The publisher names no target audience at all; the strings 'nurse practitioner' and 'physician assistant' do not appear on the page. Narrowed to physicians on that absence.

  7. 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.

  8. Same joint accreditation and same chart-deferred designation as the Myrtle Beach conference — the 2027 hour total is UNKNOWN and the prior year's marketed figure has not been carried across. Venue: 130 Shipyard Drive, Hilton Head Island, SC 29928.

  1. UNKNOWN, not zero. The society calls these 'quality continuing medical education' and titles them a CME Webinar Series, but NO accreditation statement, NO accrediting body and NO credit figure appears on either its education page or its events page — two direct reads. Self-description is not a designation. No target audience is published; audience narrowed to physicians.
