CME in the Sun: Bermuda

CJEM 1999;1(2):133

CAEP's first "CME in the Sun" event occurred last November at the Elbow Beach resort in beautiful Bermuda. It was a first for CAEP and it represents a new alternative in high quality CME for CAEP members. The program consisted of the Arrhythmia and Bugs roadshows, with extra "Meet the professor" sessions featuring interactive case reviews. Registrants came from across Canada, hailing from points as diverse as Labrador City and Qualicum, BC.

The registrants were mostly experienced practitioners, and with the small group format the quality of the interactive sessions was very high. All participants felt the course was very worthwhile and preferred this format to the large lectures they were accustomed to.

The Bermudan experience was tremendous. A dinner was held at the Aquarium, and a diver entertained the children with stories about the sea life around him. We savoured the beaches and night life, and learned a great deal about the island drink, the "Dark and Stormy."

CAEP will incorporate "CME in the Sun" as a part of our regular CME planning, and the process had a great beginning in Bermuda!
