CME in Oregon

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

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

OREGON'S DEFINING FEATURE IS THAT ITS REGISTRY IS A MAILING-ADDRESS ARTEFACT. It shows 2,032 ACCME activities across only THIRTEEN providers, and 974 of those — forty-eight per cent of the state — belong to three companies that hold almost nothing here. CE LEARNING SYSTEMS ALONE HOLDS 799, thirty-nine per cent of Oregon, and it is neither a conference producer nor a destination-CME vendor: it is an ACCREDITATION-LENDING SERVICE whose CE-Go product sells joint providership to organisations nationwide, so those activities are OTHER BODIES' events, mostly behavioural health and counselling rather than physician education, run from a virtual-mailbox unit in Beaverton. That is a THIRD distinct way a registry headline misleads, after New Jersey's national commercial companies and Washington's CME-plus-travel vendor — and here the activities are not the registrant's own at all. Northwest Imaging Forums (31) holds its courses in Orlando, Las Vegas, Chicago and Nashville with none in Oregon; Horizon CME (144) is a genuine Oregon company whose nine meetings include exactly one Oregon edition, and that one IS seeded. ⭐ THE PACWEST EXPECTATION DID NOT REPRODUCE, AND THAT IS THE FINDING. Washington established that the ACCME registry UNDERCOUNTS wherever an intrastate accreditor operates, with two named proofs. PacWest accredits into Oregon too, so the same shortfall was expected here. It is not there: the accreditor's own directory lists EXACTLY ONE Oregon provider — Samaritan Health Services, Corvallis — and Samaritan IS in the registry. Measured, not assumed, and the next PacWest state should measure rather than inherit either expectation. ⚠️ AND THE OREGON MEDICAL ASSOCIATION IS A PROVIDER, NOT AN ACCREDITOR. A research lane inferred from search results that OMA was Oregon's state accreditor and concluded a whole local tier sat outside the registry. Its own activity pages say otherwise — 'The Oregon Medical Association is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians' — its registry record reads accreditedBy=ACCME, and none of the thirteen providers are accredited by it. What it really runs is JOINT PROVIDERSHIP for non-accredited organisations, which is why the state's pain-management and infection-control courses carry an OMA designation. Plausible reasoning, wrong conclusion, corrected from the publisher. TWO OREGON PROVIDERS ARE ACCREDITED BY THE CALIFORNIA MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, which is a genuine cross-border layer rather than a mistake: Bay Area Hospital in COOS BAY (not the San Francisco Bay Area) and Asante's CME of Southern Oregon in Medford — and Asante is therefore ABSENT from the Oregon ACCME registry entirely, which is why absence is written as 'not in the registry', never as unaccredited. THE PLATFORM LAYER had to be found by probing, and one tenant would never have been guessed: LEGACY HEALTH publishes on CMETracker tenant LHS, unreachable from its registry website, and PROVIDENCE OREGON on PPMC — while PROVOR, PROVOREGON and PROVIDENCE all 404 and Providence's two other tenants contain ZERO Oregon rows. Every CloudCME guess was NXDOMAIN against a live control. St. Charles runs on eeds, whose only server-rendered view is the calendar. ⚠️ VOLUME IS NOT CONFERENCES, AND HERE IT IS NOT EVEN OPENNESS. Legacy's catalog is the state's largest at 372 rows — and 292 of them state outright that only Legacy staff may attend, leaving five open conferences. Northwest Permanente's 212 registry activities produce no public catalog at all (an established absence: its site is a recruitment page containing the string 'CME' zero times), Samaritan's 185 produce none, and Salem Health's CMETracker catalog FUNCTION IS SWITCHED OFF — its calendar endpoint returns the string 'That function not enabled'. Licensed software, disabled, which is not the same as an empty calendar. CREDIT COVERAGE IS THIN AND HONESTLY SO: fewer than a third of seeded activities carry an AMA PRA Category 1 figure. Oregon societies very commonly publish a date and a venue and no accreditation statement, and several say plainly that credit is not yet designated. Two traps are recorded rather than resolved: the Oregon Gut Club DISPLAYS LAST YEAR'S accreditation and says so on the page, so its 2025 figure is deliberately not carried forward; and Providence prints 'Attendance - 0.00' for a conference with a full agenda and a $225 physician fee, which is a placeholder, not zero credit. Where credit exists it is often designated by someone else — OHSU designates the dermatology society's meeting and the geriatrics society's conference, and the OMA designates the state's pain module. KNOWN GAPS, all researched. Twenty-two of the fifty-four organizations carry no event, and the reasons are named per organization rather than left blank. The county layer barely exists: the OMA's own affiliate directory lists just six county societies, the Medical Society of Metropolitan Portland was DISSOLVED by board decision in 2020, and there is no Multnomah, Jackson, Clackamas or Washington County society — only Central Oregon's publishes accredited CME. THE AHEC NETWORK IS THE MICHIGAN OUTCOME, measured not assumed: five regional centres, no shared catalog, no API and no feed — absent rather than broken. Two societies are unreachable through DNS failures (otolaryngology and rheumatology, both NXDOMAIN), the ACP chapter's own site serves a bot challenge to browsers and fetchers alike so its meeting is recorded from ACP national, and the urological society's domain serves NO valid TLS at all. Oregon's biggest single unread surface is a CMETracker tenant named SALEM that answers a persistent tenant-specific 503 while a control returns 200 — it exists, it is not Salem Health, and its identity is unconfirmed. OREGON BODIES MEET IN WASHINGTON MORE THAN ANY STATE SO FAR, and two of those conferences were ALREADY SEEDED BY WASHINGTON — the urological society's joint meeting at Skamania Lodge and the Northwest Allergy Forum in Seattle. Both societies are listed here carrying no events, which is the correct handling and not an omission. Two further Oregon-run meetings keep their true Washington venue state and answer a Washington search: the cardiology chapter's symposium at Skamania and the surgeons' 2027 joint meeting at Chelan.

    Credit NOT YET DESIGNATED: the page says only "This activity will be submitted for CME", which is a future intention rather than a designation. Unknown, never zero.

    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.

    NO AMA PRA CREDIT: this activity offers up to 15 ANCC contact hours, accredited through the Oregon Nurses Association. That is the normal credit currency for nurse practitioner education and is recorded as what it is rather than converted. Physicians and PAs are admitted at the non-member rate but are not the designated audience.

This edition is held in OREGON and the row keeps its true venue state. A virtual option is offered at the same fee and credit.

    Credit unknown — the provider's catalog publishes no AMA PRA hour count for this activity. Unknown, never zero. ⚠️ THE CATALOG PRINTS "Attendance - 0.00" FOR THIS ACTIVITY.

    HybridNewberg, OROregon Gut Club

    Cost not publishedInternal medicine

    Register on host site ↗Add to calendarDetails

    Credit unknown FOR 2026, and this is a trap the publisher flags itself: the accreditation block displayed on the page is LAST YEAR'S — "Last years Accreditation is displayed for reference. Please check back for 2026 updates." The 3.5-credit Amedco designation shown belongs to the 2025 meeting and is deliberately NOT carried forward.

    Register on host site ↗Add to calendarDetails

    Credit NOT YET DESIGNATED, in the publisher's own words: "This activity is expected to be submitted for CME review through an ACCME-accredited provider once the program agenda, faculty, and learning objectives are finalized." That is an intention, not a designation. The 42nd edition carried 15 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits. Registration opens autumn 2026. The credit wording quoted here is published on the sourceUrl page, NOT on the registration page — an adversarial review read only the registration page and concluded the quote was invented.

    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.

    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.
