CME in Tennessee

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

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

TENNESSEE'S CME IS ALMOST ENTIRELY INSTITUTIONAL, AND ITS THREE METRO POLES SIT IN TWO TIME ZONES. Nashville, Memphis and Jackson are Central; Knoxville, Chattanooga, the Tri-Cities and Oak Ridge are Eastern. Every dated row here carries the zone of its own venue, and for the platform rows that is not an inference at all — the publishers' own calendar records declare it. HALF THE STATE'S REGISTRY VOLUME BELONGS TO ORGANISATIONS THAT HOLD NOTHING HERE. Of 2,945 accredited activities, about 1,493 belong to five registrants with no public dated Tennessee activity: a national physician-staffing company in Knoxville that alone holds 24% of the state and publishes only nurse-anaesthetist modules, a hospital group's graduate-medical-education arm whose catalogue is one shared twenty-state listing with no state field, a federally funded eight-state HIV training programme, a national psychiatry publisher with a Memphis mailing address, and a commercial joint-provider operating from a post-office box. Judge this state by its institutions, not by its registry count. THE SOCIETY LAYER PUBLISHES MEETINGS, NOT CREDIT. Fourteen state specialty and county society activities are recorded here and NOT ONE carries an AMA PRA Category 1 designation. Several publish something that looks like one and is not: one prints 'approximately 11 hours of CME' with no category and no accreditor, and another prints a complete accreditation statement whose figure is still the template placeholder 'X.XX'. Credit unknown here means UNPUBLISHED AND NEVER ZERO. TENNESSEE HAS NO ACCREDITOR OF ITS OWN, AND THE TWO THAT REACH IN BARELY DO. The state is absent from the ACCME's list of recognised accreditors; the Southern States CME Collaborative accredits two providers and Georgia's Medical Association exactly one — a Chattanooga system, in the metro that spans the Georgia line, which publishes nothing under its own name. The state medical association is an accredited PROVIDER and not an accreditor, despite wording on its own site that reads as though it were. SEVERAL INSTITUTIONS PUBLISH THEIR CME ON SOMEBODY ELSE'S PLATFORM. A large regional system in the north-east of the state publishes no CME calendar on its own domain at all — every one of its likely paths returns 404 — while its oncology symposium runs, dated and credit-bearing, on a university's catalogue. The same catalogue carries a Chattanooga hospital's neuroscience series and a children's hospital's tele-education programme. A crawler limited to each institution's own website would record three live providers as silent. KNOWN GAPS, RESEARCHED AND ACCEPTED: a children's hospital's session-level calendar sits behind a free-account login, so its weekly grand rounds is recorded on the organisation and not as dated rows; one regional system's CME page is behind a bot-mitigation interstitial that was not rendered and is recorded as unconfirmed rather than empty; the state's largest county societies publish social and governance calendars with no CME; and the surgical chapter's 2026 annual meeting ended days before this pass with no 2027 date posted.

    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.

    Credit unknown. ⚠️ The catalogue row reads '4.00 Attendance', which is a credit-TYPE label, not a designation — no category number is printed for this activity. The provider's site-level statement offers AOA-CME Category 1 in its own right and AMA PRA Category 1 only via joint sponsorship with the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine. Two different 'Category 1' currencies; neither is designated on this row. Registration $100.

    Credit unknown — deliberately. Provider line verbatim: 'Jointly Provided by The Tennessee Pain Society and Amedco; Presented in Collaboration with the TMA, TNAFP and the TNA'. No credit designation appears on the society's site, its registration system, or the family-physician academy's listing. Two mutually contradictory figures (16.5 and 10) circulate in search summaries and NEITHER is recorded here.
