Ready to sharpen your medicine and meet your match? Invest in your training!
Join CME4Life for Pearls & Updates in Medicine, a high-yield, four-morning course in internal, family, and hospital medicine for PAs, NPs, physicians, and nurses who want to stay current and practice with confidence.
Each morning brings five focused sessions and 5 AAPA Category 1 CME credits, covering the conditions you manage every day: heart failure and arrhythmias, sepsis and antibiotics, kidney injury and electrolytes, GI bleeding, anticoagulation, stroke, delirium, and the deteriorating patient. You’ll leave with practical, evidence-based pearls you can use on your very next shift.
John Bielinski, PA-C, guides you through real-world cases that build the critical thinking and clinical judgment medicine demands, with the mnemonics and thinking protocols CME4Life is known for. The course also covers medical malpractice reduction and burnout in medicine, because practicing well means protecting yourself, too.
Single CME is built for medical professionals ready to find their person. Class wraps at 12:30, and your afternoons and evenings belong to hosted mixers, speed dating, and small-group excursions with single PAs, NPs, physicians, and nurses who understand your life. Every social event is optional.
Just want the CME? Attend the morning sessions in person or by live webinar, with no singles programming required.

- Share hot chicken and Southern food at Hattie B’s, Prince’s, and the city’s famous biscuit spots.
- Explore the Gulch and Music Row: murals, rooftop bars, and the studios where country music history was made.
- Join the group for a honky-tonk two-step night, medical trivia, and the closing-night celebration.
Tip: Mornings are for learning and afternoons are for Nashville. Plan an evening on Broadway with your new group after the first mixer.
