CME in Massachusetts

First pass, 2026-08-10, researched across six lanes.

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

THE ACADEMIC LAYER CARRIES THIS STATE ALMOST ENTIRELY, and Harvard Medical School carries the academic layer: its bespoke catalog is fully server-rendered and supplies 47 of the events listed here, each with a machine-read date and, for 36 of them, a designation quoted from the programme's own page. THE COUNTY-SOCIETY TIER THAT EXISTS IN OTHER STATES DOES NOT EXIST HERE. Massachusetts organises as twenty DISTRICT medical societies rather than counties, and NINETEEN OF THE TWENTY HAVE NO WEBSITE AT ALL — their addresses on the state society's site are anchors into a shared governance directory, and not one of the twenty publishes an accreditation statement or a calendar. Anyone expecting local county CME in Massachusetts should be told plainly that there is none to find. THE STATE SPECIALTY LAYER IS REAL BUT ITS CREDIT IS NEARLY ABSENT. Twenty chapters were verified and fifteen of them publish no accreditation statement of any kind; across the whole layer only three genuine designations were found, and NOT ONE IS ISSUED BY THE CHAPTER ITSELF — they belong to the state health department, to a Connecticut osteopathic society, and to the national American Thoracic Society. Most society rows here therefore say credit is unknown, which means unpublished, never zero. MASSACHUSETTS IS SERVED BY NEW ENGLAND REGIONAL SOCIETIES RATHER THAN STATE CHAPTERS in ophthalmology, otolaryngology, orthopaedics, neurosurgery, surgery, vascular surgery, radiology, dermatology, pathology, urology and occupational medicine — and several of those bodies MEET OUTSIDE MASSACHUSETTS. Rows here are recorded at their true venue state, so a search of this state will not show the surgical society's Connecticut meeting, the vascular society's Vermont meeting, the dermatology academy's New Hampshire conference, the osteopathic society's Connecticut conference or Harvard's Orlando course; each answers a search for the state it is actually held in. Nine rows researched here are held elsewhere. THE COMMUNITY-HOSPITAL TIER IS LARGELY INVISIBLE ON THE PUBLIC WEB. Seventeen providers were checked against sitemap crawls totalling more than eleven thousand URLs and only two publish a public dated calendar; one states outright that its calendar is reachable only from its intranet, and both calendars that do exist are hosted OFF-SITE rather than on the hospital's own domain. WHAT IS NOT COVERED HERE, AND WHY. Baystate Health, the largest provider in western Massachusetts, returns a Cloudflare challenge and began rate-limiting, so NOT ONE of its rows was ever seen — its catalog is unmeasured rather than empty, and it is the biggest single gap in this state. Boston University's and Mass General Brigham's catalogs are blocked the same way, so Mass General Brigham appears here with five rows against a catalog of roughly 2,249 nodes. Boston Children's is the largest provider in the state and only four of its activities are listed, because its two catalog views disagree with each other and neither is a superset. Treat every one of those as unread, not as absent. FINALLY, REGISTRY VOLUME IS A POOR GUIDE TO THIS STATE. Of the 6,921 accredited activities Massachusetts reports, the largest holders are national businesses that are genuinely headquartered in Boston and hold no event here at all — one of them turns out to be a Baltimore operation carrying its Boston parent company's address. The state medical society accredits half of all Massachusetts providers but only about eight per cent of the volume, because what it accredits is the small community layer.

  14. NECOEM & MaAOHN 2026 Annual Conference

    ⚠️ A dedicated accreditation document exists at a published URL but is CAPTCHA-BLOCKED — the host returns HTTP 202 with a SiteGround sg-captcha interstitial to every automated client, and a browser is offered a file download rather than a render. The site is alive and refusing bots. Credit is UNKNOWN for that reason, not because none is designated.

  16. New England Orthopaedic Society 2026 Fall Meeting

    In personWaltham, MANew England Orthopaedic Society

    Cost not publishedOrthopedics

    Register on host site ↗Add to calendarDetails

    No designation is published for this meeting. The society's accreditation is proven on its past spring meeting page — 'The New England Orthopaedic Society designates this live activity for a maximum of 12.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™' and 'is accredited by the Massachusetts Medical Society' — but that figure belongs to the past activity. No AMA PRA Category 1 designation is published for this activity. Credit is UNKNOWN, not zero.

    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.

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

    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.
