Elevate Summit 2025
About Elevate Summit
Elevate Summit is a transformative luxury retreat dedicated to empowering women in Oral Maxillofacial Surgery, dentistry, and medicine.
Founded by Dr. Erin Sheffield—an accomplished Oral Maxillofacial Surgeon, mother of three, public speaker, and host of the Resting Stitch Face podcast—this unique experience redefines continuing education by prioritizing what matters most: genuine connection, supportive community, and meaningful self-development.
Dr. Sheffield created Elevate Summit (now known as The Doctor Is ALL In) from her deep understanding of the unique challenges women face in medicine—the constant pursuit of excellence while questioning whether they're doing enough or truly belong.
This isn't just another conference experience. Elevate Summit serves as a sanctuary where women in medicine can step away from the demands of daily practice to reconnect with their purpose and passion. The retreat creates meaningful experiences designed to help attendees grow personally and professionally, fostering the kind of supportive community that sustains and energizes long after the event ends.
Through carefully curated programming that addresses the real issues shaping women's lives in medicine, Elevate Summit ensures participants leave feeling refreshed, realigned, and deeply supported.
For women craving more purpose, clarity, and connection in their professional journey, this retreat offers the transformative experience they've been seeking—a place where they can truly elevate together.
How Pinnacle Supported Elevate Summit Through Joint Providership
Pinnacle partnered with Elevate Summit to bring accredited continuing education to their transformative retreat experience through our joint providership model. Recognizing that Elevate Summit wanted to focus on delivering exceptional content and community-building rather than navigating accreditation complexities, Pinnacle stepped in as their compliance and accreditation partner.
Our team managed all aspects of the accreditation process, including comprehensive content review for bias and balance, oversight of faculty disclosure requirements, and conflict of interest documentation. We ensured the retreat's educational components met rigorous standards set by accrediting bodies, enabling attendees to earn valuable CE/CME credits while participating in this unique professional development experience.
Throughout the partnership, Pinnacle handled the administrative burden—from initial compliance guidance through post-activity reporting and certificate issuance. We served as the accreditation liaison, managing all official paperwork and regulatory submissions, while conducting thorough evaluation data analysis to maintain ongoing compliance standards.
This collaborative approach allowed Elevate Summit to deliver their vision of meaningful, connection-focused education while providing participants with the professional development credits they needed, all without the organizational burden of pursuing independent accreditation.
