Choose The Cruise For You: CME River or Ocean Cruise?

Study and have a vacation at the same time!

Your typical continuing medical education cruise, or CME cruise, usually has this as a slogan. CME cruises are one of the more unique ways to garner CME credits as they provide a sense of balance between studying and having fun.

Cruises with medical experts on board are not hard to come by nowadays, but you’ll have to choose between an ocean cruise or a river cruise. Here are some differences that can help you determine which type of cruise is for you:


I. Mingling Aplenty


If you’re someone that loves to socialize then a river cruise is right up your alley. Although socialization is not forced on a river cruise, because you will be on a smaller cruise ship,  you’ll have plenty of opportunity to mingle with guests. Your chance to get to know your fellow physicians and those that are in the same specialization as you is an opportunity you can’t simply miss.

Besides socializing with your fellow physicians, you can even start a conversation with the officers and captain, and of course, the other guests!

II. Culture Galore


Besides socialization, if you’re a person who loves to fully immerse in the culture when you go on vacations, river cruises are the best choice for you. Although an ocean cruise has its cultural value as well, you won’t have much of a cultural experience due to your time mostly traveling from one place to another.

River cruises, meanwhile, dock directly at the town port instead of those large industrial ones. Plus, you won’t have to travel a long way, giving you plenty of time to explore more of the town’s colorful culture.

One more benefit of river cruises is its inclusions. Most river cruises tend to include shore excursions and tours, unlike with larger ocean cruises where you have to pay an extra fee.

BONUS: Health is Wealth!


This bonus content is more of a personal opinion on the benefit a river cruise provides, but note that due to its more active inclusivities with land excursions, such as hiking, biking, and walking, it’s easier to get active if you’re a physician wanting to go healthy as you get your CME credits.

Bodybuilding with a Vegetarian Diet

Yes -- it’s possible. When you’re trying to build muscle, it’s important to keep yourself open with diet variety. As Keto diets and protein diets with (impulsive amounts of chicken breast) have taken over in recent years, however, vegetable and plant-based food merely turned into a chicken breast’s side dish or food primarily served with a saucy steak. The preassumptions about vegetables degraded its reputation for building muscle. The truth? You can build muscle and burn significant amounts of fat with plant-based meals alone. Healthy CME river cruises are one of the ways doctors relive and rejuvenate their bodies while earning their CME credits. Take a look on Healthy MD CME’s destinations this 2020 at www.HealthyMDCME.com   You don’t actually have to switch your diet to a full-blown plant-based diet.

Promoting Healthy Living in Your Family

Living a healthy lifestyle can be a challenge especially for doctors with families who also work long hours. But that doesn’t give you the excuse to influence your family to live a mediocre lifestyle. As a doctor with the primary advocacy as a doctor to maintain health, it’s your role to promote healthy living and provide them the best care that they can receive. Your presence is you and your family’s advantage. Promoting Healthy Living with Your Partner The best way to influence your kids in the pursuit of healthy living is by encouraging your partner of the lifestyle. You don’t actually have to “sell” the idea to your partner. By eating healthy, exercising, and doing regular meditation/reflection, you give your partner the idea that this “so-called healthy living” is possible. Alternatively, you may also opt to challenge each other for 30 days to induce a positive pressure that encourages each partner to eat, move and think healthy. Incorporating Healthy Living with Fun A
