How it works
Accredited CME, CLE & CE
Where you want it, when you want it.
You practice in a dynamic and challenging environment and the need to keep professionally current on clinical as well as practice management and legal issues is obvious. The question is when? American Educational Institute has provided the answer since 1982. Every year, we offer over 5,000 opportunities to get the continuing education you want and the credits you need – away from the distractions and tumult of your practice. Far away. Like in Hawaii, Aspen, Aruba or any of our over 50 other premier travel destinations.
There are two courses to choose from, The Medical-Dental-Legal Update and The Dental Update. Both are offered during weekly, M-F and Th-M schedules, are uniquely curated, 20-hour surveys of a broad yet critical array of topics presented by national experts in dentistry, law, medicine, pharmacology, asset protection, psychology and practice management. They are produced in state-of-the-art studios using 4K digital technology and boast AMA PRA Category 1™, AAFP Prescribed, ABIM MOC, CLE and ADA CERP credit approval.
Participate during conveniently scheduled lecture hours in the travel destination of your choice and in the real-time and interactive company of other participants but instead of viewing the program in a designated physical classroom you may now do so on your laptop from the comfort of your hotel room. This is truly the best of all worlds, important continuing education in relaxed environments requiring no additional time away from your practice.
Critical CME, CE & CLE – where you want to go and when you want to go there. That's been AEI's hallmark since 1982. A distinction validated by over 100,000 registrations and the fact that over 98% of our students say that they'd recommend AEI to their colleagues.
If you've never studied with us before this must all sound a bit unusual. It is.

Frequently Asked Questions
How exactly does the Destination-based Remote Classroom format work?
AEI’s new and unique destination-based, remote classroom format is designed to mimic the format and learning environment of a physical classroom. Indeed, we sometimes call it “the classroom without the classroom”. Similar to AEI’s traditional physical classrooms with AEI’s destination-based remote classrooms you will participate from the destination to which you’ve chosen to travel (within a 30 mile radius to be precise) during scheduled lecture hours. But, instead of viewing the course in the company of only those registered for the same destination that same week, you’ll now attend in the virtual and interactive company of everyone registered for all locations operating in the same time zone. This dramatically increases your opportunity for dialogue with other practitioners and, better still, lets you do so on your laptop or tablet from the safety and comfort of your hotel room or condominium.
While the traditional classroom model is quite good and has served us all very well, AEI’s new destination-based virtual classroom model is even better offering total COVID-safety, comfort, convenience and the opportunity for dialogue with many more colleagues from a variety of professional disciplines. Now you understand why we keep saying, “the best way to mix business with pleasure just got better.”

Do I have to begin an AEI course on a specific day of the week?
No.
5-Day Course
The content for our 5-Day Courses runs every day of the week. A Monday or Thursday start day will present all of the content in a consecutive 5 day schedule. Any other start day will add one or two rest days to your schedule. See the chart below.
Remember that you do not need to complete the entire course during the one trip. You can repeat the course, until it expires, as many times as you like free of charge at any of our destinations during classroom hours.

2-Day Courses run every day but Monday. Day 1 Content is streamed on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Day 2 Content is streamed on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. See the chart below.

Are AEI's courses "live"?
AEI’s continuing education courses are produced in state-of-the-art production studios using 4K technology. While the course itself is a professional, studio shoot, it is presented to our learners via our Destination-based, Remote Classrooms which utilize a “live” classroom environment. It is not self-study. Rather, registrants may attend an AEI course only at travel destination at which AEI offers a classroom, only during scheduled lecture hours and always under the supervision of AEI staff. All learners participate in the virtual but interactive company of all other participants similarly registered for that same week to any classroom in the same time zone. Finally, many learners have commented that AEI’s pre-recorded format results in a superior educational experience to live activities in which they’ve participated.
