CME in Kansas

First pass, 2026-08-16.

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

Four research lanes plus a from-scratch extraction of the eeds platform, which turns out to carry the two largest providers in the state. ⭐ KANSAS HAS NO ACCREDITOR OF ITS OWN, AND COLORADO REACHES IN. Kansas is absent from ACCME's 28 Recognized Accreditors, and four of its ten registry providers — Olathe Medical Center, the pediatric chapter, KU School of Medicine-Wichita Family Medicine and AdventHealth Shawnee Mission, 48 activities between them — are accredited by the COLORADO MEDICAL SOCIETY. Sweeping provider_accredited_by for the CMS across thirteen states finds its whole out-of-state footprint is exactly two jurisdictions: Kansas (4 providers) and Wyoming (1, Cheyenne Regional, 40 activities), and BOTH are vacuum states with no accreditor of their own. This is the second intrastate accreditor measured after the Medical Association of Georgia, and unlike MAG — which broke the 'stops at the border' rule by reaching a Colorado foundation — the CMS respects it: both of its reaches land in vacuum states. The direction (fills a vacuum) now holds for two accreditors; the border holds for one and broke once for the other. ⚠️ THE REGISTRY OVERSTATES THE LOCAL LAYER AND MUST HAVE THE NATIONAL BODIES SUBTRACTED. Two of the three biggest 'Kansas' providers by activity count are national organizations headquartered in the Kansas-City suburbs and contribute almost nothing locally: the Children's Hospital Association (313 activities, Lenexa) and the American Academy of Family Physicians (114, Leawood), plus BoardVitals (33, online question banks). After subtracting them the real local layer is KU Medical Center, Stormont Vail, KU-Wichita, Olathe, the pediatric chapter and AdventHealth Shawnee Mission. ⭐ EEDS IS THE DOMINANT PLATFORM HERE, AND ONLY ONE OF ITS FOUR VIEWS IS READABLE. Both KU Medical Center (Sponsor SIN 230160, 449 activities, the state's largest provider and also the home of KU AHEC and KU Project ECHO) and Stormont Vail Health (SIN 230189, Topeka) publish on eeds. Its portal_live_events / portal_recurring_events / portal_enduring views return empty client shells; only portal_calendar.aspx is server-rendered, and it paginates by ASP.NET postback (full-form serialized) rather than querystring. Per-activity credit and venue come from ajax_functions.aspx?Function_ID=43&ConferenceID=<AIN>, which the site's own Vue detail page calls. Two calendar markups matter: single-day grand-rounds sessions are show_activity_details, the multi-day flagship SYMPOSIA are show_symposium_details — a parser that reads only the first records a provider's real conferences as absent. ⚠️ THE OVERVIEW PAGE HIDES THE DESIGNATION; THE EEDS DETAIL HAS IT. KU's public conference overview pages carry only an accreditation statement, so a fetch-only pass records credit as unknown — but the eeds detail designates the figure (the Midwest Cell Therapy conference overview says nothing and the detail designates 6.25 AMA PRA Category 1). Every one of Stormont Vail's five dated symposia — Maternal Child (5.75), Behavioral Health (5), the APP Educational Summit on rash (2, and it carries physician credit despite the 'APP' title), Trauma & Critical Care (5.5) and Infectious Disease (1) — designates AMA PRA Category 1 read from its eeds detail. The first FOUR also designate a matching AAPA Category I figure, the basis for their PA audience; the Infectious Disease conference designates AMA PRA Category 1 only, so it is seeded MD/DO. ⚠️ THE STATE MEDICAL SOCIETY RUNS NO CME. The Kansas Medical Society is an advocacy body, not an ACCME provider — it appears nowhere in the registry and publishes no dated physician CME (recent items are an Advocacy Day and a canceled forum). Its county societies are quiet (Sedgwick County shows 'no upcoming events'; Johnson and Wyandotte counties merged into the bi-state Kansas City Medical Society in 2018, already seeded from the Missouri pass as a bi-state org). The Wichita hospital CME that exists — Ascension Via Christi and Wesley — is Kansas Medical Society-accredited and published as PDF or contact-only schedules, not machine-readable catalogs. ⚠️ READ THE CREDIT-TYPE NAME, NOT JUST THE NUMBER. Three of the specialty flagships carry physician-adjacent credit that is NOT AMA PRA Category 1 and is recorded as such: the osteopathic association's fall convention designates AOA Category 1-A (seeded DO), the family physicians' wilderness course designates 15.50 AAFP Prescribed (seeded MD/DO), and the PA academy's Heart of America meeting designates 20.0 AAPA Category I (seeded PA). The dermatology society's 8 AMA PRA Category 1 figure is designated for 2026 by the MISSOURI Association of Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons (MAOPS) in joint providership with the Kansas City Dermatological Society, on the society's own 2026-cme-accreditation-statement page — NOT the older cme-information page, whose Institute-for-International-Medicine designation carries prior-year faculty and must not be quoted for 2026. ⚠️ AN OUT-OF-STATE ROW THIS PASS GENERATED: KU Medical Center's Midwest Cardiovascular Innovations Conference (Sept 25-27, 2026) is held at Big Cedar Lodge in Ridgedale, MISSOURI, so it is seeded under stateCode MO — the venue decides the state even when the provider is Kansan. AdventHealth Shawnee Mission (a CMS-accredited Kansas provider) publishes nothing Kansas-sited on the national AdventHealth CloudCME tenant, whose dated activities are almost all Central Florida Division; the two Kansas AdventHealth safety seminars already in the data came from the Florida pass. SEVEN of the 21 seeded rows carry a designated AMA PRA Category 1 figure, and all but one (the dermatology society) come from the two eeds providers. KNOWN GAPS: no upcoming NP-designated dated event (the nurse-practitioner council's Sunflower Conference is a February annual, already past, and its AANP credit is NP-only); Wesley Medical Center's grand-rounds catalog showed only 2023 session dates, so its current schedule is unconfirmed; the Kansas Psychiatric Society's fall meeting has no 2026 date posted; Kansas ACEP publishes only national ACEP events, not an in-state chapter meeting; the anesthesiology society has no verifiable publisher site (only social media, and ksaweb.org is the KENTUCKY society); and Stormont Vail's recurring Active Assailant preparedness course was left out as scope-uncertain (no physician designation, audience explicitly beyond healthcare).

    Cost not publishedInternal medicine

    Register on host site ↗Add to calendarDetails

    No credit designation is published on the meeting page (it lists only that the fee 'includes … CME documentation'), so credit is recorded UNKNOWN.

    HybridWashington, DCAmerican Psychiatric AssociationSited in DC — attendable remotely

    Paid — price on host sitePsychiatry

    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.

    20.0 AAPA Category I credit (being requested) — PA credit, NOT AMA PRA Category 1: 'Conference organizers will be requesting 20 hours of AAPA Category I CME credit from the Physician Assistant Review Panel.' Seeded PA-only (no physician or NP designation). Date proof: 'Thursday, October 15, 2026 at 7:30am CT - Saturday, October 17, 2026 at 1:00pm CT' at the Aloft Wichita — Oct 15, 2026 is a Thursday. The My PA Network platform returns HTTP 403 to plain fetches; the page was read via a browser.

  14. Fall 2026 Progress in Pediatrics Conference

    In personManhattan, KSKansas Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics

    Cost not publishedPediatrics

    Register on host site ↗Add to calendarDetails

    No credit designation is published on the event page, so credit is recorded UNKNOWN. Registration tiers list 'Physicians' and 'NP/PA/Nurses/Other' separately — the NP/PA welcome is a registration category, not a credit designation, so the row is seeded MD/DO (physician) with NP/PA noted here rather than asserted as audience. Date proof: 'Friday, October 30th, 2026 … 7:00 AM - 4:00 PM' — Oct 30, 2026 is a Friday. Venue: Kansas State Student Union, Manhattan, KS.

  16. KAOM 2026 Fall CME Conference

    In personWichita, KSKansas Association of Osteopathic Medicine

    Cost not published

    Register on host site ↗Add to calendarDetails

    AOA Category 1-A credit (osteopathic-physician credit): 'KAOM designates this program for AOA Category 1-A credits and will report CME and specialty credits commensurate with the extent of the physician's participation in this activity.' The hour count is not yet published (the kansasdo.org page shows a placeholder and 'Details Coming Soon'). No AMA PRA Category 1 is designated, so seeded DO. Date proof: 'November 13–14, 2026' at the Kansas College of Osteopathic Medicine, downtown Wichita — Nov 13, 2026 is a Friday. Audience: practicing/retired osteopathic physicians, faculty, residents and students.

  17. Family Medicine Winter Symposium

    HybridWichita, KSUniversity of Kansas School of Medicine–Wichita, Department of Family & Community Medicine

    Cost not publishedFamily medicine

    Register on host site ↗Add to calendarDetails

    AAFP-accredited family-medicine symposium; the department page publishes no AMA PRA Category 1 designation, so credit is UNKNOWN. Date proof: 'Save the date: Dec. 10-11, 2026 … National Center for Aviation Training, 4004 N. Webb Rd., Wichita, KS 67226.' Registration was not yet open at the time of the pass (the department page is the source/register link). The companion Spring Symposium (April) is the sibling event and its page invites PAs and NPs to attend; the Winter page states no audience, so this row is seeded MD/DO.

  22. Skin, Bones, Hearts & Private Parts — Myrtle Beach 2027

    HybridMyrtle Beach, SCSkin, Bones, Hearts & Private PartsSited in SC — attendable remotely

    Cost not publishedPrimary care

    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.

  23. Skin, Bones, Hearts & Private Parts — Hilton Head Island 2027

    Cost not publishedPrimary care
