CME in Rhode Island

First pass, 2026-08-11, researched across four lanes.

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

RHODE ISLAND IS GENUINELY THIN, AND THE REASON IS STRUCTURAL RATHER THAN A GAP IN THE RESEARCH. The state has seven accredited providers in total. The largest of them by volume publishes nothing at all publicly — its catalog sits behind a hospital single-sign-on, which makes it closed registration — and the academic provider's season runs March to June, so a pass run in August falls between cycles and finds its catalog holding four activities, only one of them ever dated and that one now past. Five of the seven providers publish no activity listings of any kind: one hospital's CME page is a governance document last substantively revised in 2008, another's is a planning toolkit whose only activity links point at Boston University and the University of Illinois, and a third has no CME page anywhere in its 414-page sitemap. RHODE ISLAND HAS NO ACCREDITOR OF ITS OWN, WHICH IS WHY MASSACHUSETTS APPEARS THROUGHOUT. Four of the seven providers are accredited by the Massachusetts Medical Society, which accredits across Massachusetts and its contiguous states. Three Rhode Island hospitals still publish statements naming the Rhode Island Medical Society as their accreditor; those are out of date, and the state society is neither a recognised accreditor nor an accredited provider today. It brokers its education through the medical school instead. MOST OF THIS STATE'S INVENTORY IS IN-BOUND, WHICH IS UNUSUAL AND WORTH SAYING PLAINLY. The largest conference held in Rhode Island is run by a Boston company, the Newport internal medicine conference by a Colorado one, and the Newport ophthalmology meeting by a national society — none of the three has any Rhode Island presence. A clinician searching this state finds most of what is here only because events are recorded at their true venue rather than their provider's home. THERE IS NO COUNTY OR DISTRICT SOCIETY TIER AT ALL, unlike Massachusetts's twenty districts or Illinois's sixteen counties; the state society's sub-tier is an association-management roster for about a dozen specialty societies, most of which have no website. Of the specialty chapters that do, only cardiology and emergency medicine publish a dated future meeting, and NEITHER PUBLISHES A CREDIT DESIGNATION — those rows say credit is unknown, which means unpublished and never zero. REGISTRY VOLUME IS ACTIVELY MISLEADING HERE, MORE SO THAN IN ANY STATE SO FAR. Sixty-two per cent of Rhode Island's accredited activity belongs to one national academy that is headquartered in East Providence and holds no event in the state whatsoever; its volume is a federally funded national curriculum published on a different domain entirely. It is listed here but is deliberately not scoped to Rhode Island, so it contributes no local inventory: its two live courses are virtual and answer as national online content the way any other online library does, and its annual meeting answers a Tennessee search, not this one. The health department runs a real events calendar containing lead and asbestos licensure training rather than clinician education; its genuine physician CME is the free opioid prescribing series listed here, which it co-produces and hosts on the medical school's platform.

  8. APA Women's Leadership Institute

    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.

  16. 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.

    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.
