We'd rather teach medicine on a mountain than in a ballroom.
FiresideCME runs small-group wilderness medicine trips built around the riding and skiing we'd be doing anyway. Accredited education, real terrain, and a roster small enough that you'll know everyone by the first descent.
How this started
At FiresideCME, we believe in blending adventure and education to create a truly unique experience. Born out of a passion for mountain biking, outdoor activities, and medical education, our mission is to take learning beyond the conference room and onto the trails. We travel to some of the best mountain biking and skiing destinations in the world, offering cost-effective, fun, and laid-back trips that also support local businesses.
Tired of sitting through endless PowerPoints in hotel conference rooms? So are we!
That's why we've reimagined the traditional CME format. Whether under the stars or at a local eatery, our curated events are designed to support the community and provide a refreshing take on learning.
FiresideCME is more than just a CME provider — it's a community of like-minded healthcare professionals who value connection, exploration, and meaningful education. With every trip, we aim to inspire curiosity, build lasting memories, and make continuing education something to look forward to.
Six things we won't compromise on
Learn by Doing
Hands-on, scenario-based skills you can use on your next ride, not slides you'll forget by Monday.
Small by Design
Deliberately small rosters, so you actually know the people you ride and learn with.
Local First
We spend our time and dollars with the guides, shops, and kitchens that make each place worth the trip.
Earn Your Turns
Real terrain, real effort, real skills. CME with sweat equity.
Credible & Accredited
Board-certified faculty and AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™, held to the standard any serious CME should be.
Curiosity Over Convention
We'd rather reimagine CME than sit through another hotel ballroom.

As a board-certified Emergency Medicine Physician, I've spent years dedicated to both my profession and my passion for the outdoors. FiresideCME was born from the incredible experiences I've shared with my family, as our favorite vacations have always revolved around mountain biking and skiing bucket list destinations, savoring great food, and embracing local culture. Whether camping under the stars or riding through breathtaking landscapes, these adventures inspired me to create a space where medical education meets the joy of exploration and community.
