CME in Illinois

Strongest by far is academic CME: the University of Chicago, Northwestern Feinberg, Carle Health in Urbana-Champaign and SIU in Springfield supply most dated activity. CREDIT DETAIL IS UNEVEN AND SHOULD NOT BE GENERALISED: the University of Chicago and Northwestern publish an explicit AMA PRA Category 1 hour count on every activity and Carle on most, but SIU prints none of its hours on the public page (they sit behind a registration login) and neither does Loyola, so those rows say credit unknown. Across the whole state fewer than half the activities carry a verified hour count, and on the society layer most chapters publish dates with no accreditation statement at all. Treat a missing credit figure as UNKNOWN, never as zero. THE ILLINOIS-SPECIFIC TRAP, which matters for anyone querying this data: an unusual number of NATIONAL bodies are HEADQUARTERED in Illinois - the AMA, the American College of Surgeons, the AAP in Itasca, the American Society of Anesthesiologists in Schaumburg, RSNA in Oak Brook, AAOS in Rosemont, CHEST in Glenview, the AOA, ASCRS in Bannockburn and the AASM in Darien - and Chicago is the country's busiest medical convention city. A national headquarters in Illinois is NOT an Illinois chapter and a national meeting held in Chicago is NOT an Illinois-provider activity; only activities whose provider is an Illinois body are listed here, and the state chapters that do exist (ICAAP, the Illinois Society of Anesthesiologists, the Metropolitan Chicago and Illinois chapters of the ACS) are seeded as organizations separate from their national parents. Known gaps: the county-society layer produced NO events at all - DuPage dissolved on 2025-12-31 by its own board's vote, the Chicago Medical Society runs an abandoned CMS with an empty calendar and an intermittently EXPIRED TLS certificate that fails roughly three fetches in five, and the Kane and McHenry societies are genuinely active but have posted no autumn season. The statewide ACS chapter and the Illinois Radiological Society both sit behind an anti-bot CAPTCHA, so neither has verified events; UIC publishes no dated public catalog at all and its calendar's year filter stops at 2018; Advocate Health is deliberately not ingested because it publishes one shared Illinois/Wisconsin/North Carolina catalog with no state field on any row; and OSF, the largest downstate system, runs grand rounds across eleven specialties that are reachable only by telephoning a coordinator.
