Welcome to CE AWAY™ by Adventure House Travel

The CDE AWAY® Commitment

Sea Courses is an education company. Started in 1995, it was the creation of Dr. Martin Gerretsen and his business partner, Harvey Strydhorst. The first trip operated in 1996 and this has been followed by almost 400 more trips since then.

While our emphasis has been on medical conferences, over time, many dental professionals have joined our CME AWAY® trips. We have received much feedback asking us to expand our offerings. We will continue to offer conferences that have content and value for both medical and dental professionals. But, we are now adding conferences that will have more concentration on dental topics. We have always offered courses from the medical profession’s top educators. This practice will be followed with our dental courses.

Our trips take place around the world allowing medical and dental professionals to combine learning with personal health breaks and rejuvenation time. Our attendees choose our CME AWAY® courses because of the combination of high quality and engaging speakers, the latest educational content, terrific venues and family time away from the stresses of everyday life. After 25 years, we are recognized as the leading provider of CME AWAY® experiences and our goal is to provide the same experiences with our CDE AWAY® trips.

The Sea Courses Difference

Our surveys continue to validate that destination conferences offer these key advantages over traditional local classroom events:

• All of our CME AWAY® programs are certified by the CFPC.
• All CDE AWAY® programs will receive ADA CERP credits. By reciprocal agreement, CDA credits are also earned.
• Participants have extended opportunities to interact formally and informally with faculty and peers.
• Sessions occur throughout the entire duration of your trip, allowing time for reflection and further questioning of what has been learned.
• Attendees not only come from several disciplines, but also from many provinces, states and countries –all of which adds to the group interactive discussions
• We send out a short survey after each conference to get feedback on course content and suggestions about topics and destinations for future trips.

Even though your primary goal is to be educated, you will accomplish so much more on a CDE AWAY® by Sea Courses… The health benefits of time away, the learning experience that is a big part of travelling the world, a vacation experience with colleagues, family and friends. These are the unique advantages of the Sea Courses’ CDE AWAY® environment.
