THE GEORGIA-SPECIFIC PATTERN, which matters more here than in any state so far: GEORGIA'S SOCIETIES ROUTINELY HOLD THEIR ANNUAL MEETINGS OUTSIDE GEORGIA. The state's ACS chapter, the ophthalmology society, the dermatology congress, the psychiatric association's summer meeting and the AAP chapter's seaside conference are all in Florida, and the radiological society meets jointly with South Carolina's — though that radiology meeting was held in June 2026 and is already past, so no South Carolina row exists in this tranche. The out-of-state activities that ARE seeded carry their true venue state and deliberately do NOT appear under a Georgia search. In state, meetings cluster at Lake Oconee, Sea Island and Jekyll Island rather than in Atlanta. CREDIT IS WEAK ON THE SOCIETY LAYER AND SHOULD NOT BE GENERALISED: most Georgia societies publish dates with no accreditation statement at all, and only ONE — the pathology association — states an AMA PRA Category 1 designation on ITS OWN SITE. Where a society activity does carry a verified hour count, the credit is designated by somebody else on the society's behalf: the College of American Pathologists for the pathology webinars, the American College of Surgeons for the surgical chapter's meeting, the American College of Physicians for its chapter meeting, and the Medical College of Georgia for the state surgical society's. Several other societies publish credit as applied-for, as pending, or as designated with the hour count still to be determined, and none of those is counted as verified here. Treat a missing credit figure as UNKNOWN, never as zero. THE ATLANTA TRAP: an unusual number of NATIONAL bodies are accredited CME providers HEADQUARTERED in Georgia — the American College of Rheumatology, the CDC and the National Association of EMS Physicians among them — and Atlanta is a major convention city, so a national meeting held there is not a Georgia-provider activity. The national rheumatology college in particular is a different organization from the Georgia Society of Rheumatology, which is the state body. Two in-state collisions were resolved: the acronym GNS belongs to BOTH the Georgia Neurological Society and the separate Georgia Neurosurgical Society, and the psychiatric association shares near-identical domains with the psychological association, which is out of scope. Georgia also has TWO general-surgery bodies — the single ACS chapter and an independent state surgical society — and they are not the same organization. Known gaps: the county layer is nearly silent, with the state association's own directory listing 43 county societies of which only five have a website at all and only one publishing dated clinician education, while the DeKalb society's and Savannah's society's domains no longer resolve. Several large accredited systems publish no readable catalog: Wellstar's public portal is its pharmacist programme, Northside's linked campus calendar is a file created in 2021, Grady's CME pages have been removed, and Morehouse's catalog carries no live dated activity at all. Savannah's academic centre publishes nothing on its own site and is reachable only through its national parent's catalog. No Georgia society could be verified for nephrology, infectious disease, pulmonary and critical care, sleep, geriatrics, occupational medicine, sports medicine or physical medicine and rehabilitation, and the state's thoracic society page has been frozen since 2019.
