PROGRAM TOPICS

There have been several changes in, and new recommendations for, the treatment of various cardiac risk factors. Meanwhile there has been an evolution as well as a reassessment of the approach to chest pain, heart attack and cardiac arrest patients. Using a case-based multidisciplinary approach we will review these changes in patient care from office to the emergency department. Providers will learn the latest recommendations allowing them to develop better patient care strategies. They will also learn the most common types of STEMIs (ST elevation MIs), how to rapidly recognize them as well as the dangers of excessive oxygen and ventilation during resuscitation. Common medical errors and their avoidance will also be discussed. Finally, despite discussions about walls and fears of terrorist incidents, worldwide travel and immigration continues. It is important to understand the potential dangers of traveling for yourself and your patients as well as to recognize some of the diseases that returning travelers and immigrants can present with. Topics:
  1. Travel Medicine: Preparation and Prevention
    • Assess appropriately the medical risk to the traveler
    • List commonly needed Immunizations for travelers
    • Implement helpful travel preventative treatments
    • Utilize travel medicine related website resources
  2. There is a What in My ED (or Clinic)?
    • Identify common and not so common diseases of travelers and immigrants
    • Assess returning travelers presenting with varied complaints
    • Discuss treatment options
  3. Tackling the Opiate Crisis: An overview of Suboxone
    • Discuss the role suboxone can play in the treatment of an opiate addict
    • Identify potential candidates for suboxone (or other MAT) treatment
    • Review the limits of treatment
  4. Medical Error Reduction: Optimizing Outcomes and Patient Safety
    • Identify potential sources of medical errors in the way they approach pt assessment and diagnosis
    • Discuss how functioning as a team with open communication and no fault reporting can help prevent errors
    • Iincorporate this understanding into their approach to patients
  5. Updates in the Management of CV and CAD from Office to the ED
    • Summarize some of the changes in guidelines
    • Incorporate the latest guidelines and recommendations into daily practice
    • Rapidly identify a STEMI on ECG
    • Describe changes in EMS and ED care of the patient with chest pain or STEMI
  6. Death by Breathing: Reassessment of the ABCs in resusciation
    • Describe the dangers of excessive ventilation
    • Identify errors in ventilation
    • List the techniques to mitigate and correct this
    • Apply this information in the treatment of respiratory and cardiac arrest
  7. Death by Oxygen: Reassessing the need for oxygen in all patients
    • Identify the conditions for which hyperoxemia is potentially dangerous
    • Describe the goals and targets of oxygen therapy
    • Apply this information in patient care

Ports of Call

Seattle, Washington

Seattle, United States
When your ship docks in Puget Sound, you arrive in Seattle, the vibrant heart of the Pacific Northwest, where urban sophistication is framed by breathtaking natural beauty. This is a port of call designed for discovery and rejuvenation. Just steps from the pier, the legendary Pike Place Market awaits. Engage your senses as you witness the famous fish-tossing, savor local artisan cheeses, and breathe in the aroma of fresh flowers and gourmet coffee from the original Starbucks. For an unparalleled perspective, ascend the iconic Space Needle for 360-degree views of the city, Elliott Bay, and the majestic, snow-capped Mount Rainier standing sentinel on the horizon. Adjacent, the Chihuly Garden and Glass museum offers a breathtaking immersion into a world of vibrant, large-scale glass sculptures—a truly unique artistic encounter.
Downtown Seattle skyline with Mount Rainier


To truly appreciate the region's soul, take to the water. A short, scenic ferry ride to Bainbridge Island provides a classic Pacific Northwest escape, with quaint shops, local wineries, and a stunning return view of the Seattle skyline. Alternatively, embark on a whale-watching excursion for a chance to see orcas and other marine life in their natural habitat. Whether you choose to explore the historic architecture of Pioneer Square or simply find a waterfront café to relax, Seattle offers a perfect balance of stimulating culture and serene landscapes, an ideal respite from your demanding daily routine.

At Sea - Cruising

Alaska Inside Passage

Scenic Alaskan coastal view from cruise ship in Inside Passage
The Inside Passage is not merely a route between ports; for most travelers, navigating this protected waterway is the definitive Alaskan experience. Unlike open ocean crossings, this journey takes you through a narrow, calm corridor flanked by the massive Tongass National Forest—the largest temperate rainforest on earth. The scale here is humbling, with thousand-foot granite cliffs plunging into deep fjords and mist clinging to the hemlock and spruce canopy.

This is a day for active observation. We strongly advise securing a position on deck or a private balcony well before approaching major highlights like Glacier Bay, Hubbard Glacier, or Tracy Arm Fjord. The silence here is profound, often broken only by the 'white thunder' of tidewater glaciers calving into the sea. The visual impact of the 'glacial blue'—created by dense ice absorbing red light spectrums—is startlingly vivid against the grey skies.

Wildlife viewing requires patience but offers high rewards. The nutrient-rich waters are prime feeding grounds for humpback whales; look for the telltale mist of a spout or the fluke raising before a dive. Orcas, Dall’s porpoises, and harbor seals are common sights, while bald eagles are nearly ubiquitous on passing ice floes. On the shoreline, keep a sharp eye out for coastal brown bears at low tide.

Practical preparation is key to enjoying this passage. The weather is notoriously changeable; expect rain and mist, which actually enhances the dramatic, moody atmosphere of the fjords. Dress in waterproof layers and, most importantly, bring high-quality binoculars. Relying solely on the naked eye or a camera lens means missing the intricate details of this untamed wilderness. This is a time to disconnect from shipboard distractions and immerse yourself in one of the planet's most magnificent natural corridors.

Juneau, Alaska

Alaska, Juneau, Sandy Beach, woman standing on paddleboard, smiling, fun, paddling, forest and icy hills in background, adventure,
Juneau is a paradox: a state capital accessible only by air or sea, where the wilderness doesn't just surround the city—it defines it. As a port of call, it offers perhaps the most accessible high-adventure opportunities in Alaska, though managing expectations regarding weather and crowds is essential for a quality experience.
Alaska, Juneau, hiking tour, wide view of water, beach, forests, snow-capped mountains, ski lift cabin center,


The Mendenhall Glacier is the undisputed centerpiece. While the Visitor Center offers a solid introduction, the glacier has receded significantly in recent years. To truly grasp the scale of the Juneau Icefield, we recommend a helicopter excursion. Landing on the glacier or dog sledding on the ice cap is a significant investment, but it provides a visceral connection to the landscape that a distant view from the visitor center cannot match. If you prefer to stay grounded, the hike to Nugget Falls offers a powerful view of the glacier's face and a roaring waterfall without the flight costs.

Juneau’s waters are among the most productive feeding grounds for humpback whales in the world. Sightings in Auke Bay are exceptionally reliable during the cruise season. If you have not booked a wildlife excursion elsewhere on your itinerary, this is the place to do it.

Downtown Juneau is compact and historic, though South Franklin Street can feel congested when multiple ships are in port. For a sophisticated cultural break, the Alaska State Museum is outstanding, housing world-class exhibits on Native Alaskan heritage and Russian history. The Mount Roberts Tramway, located right at the dock, offers sweeping views, but we advise purchasing tickets only after assessing the cloud cover; the view is spectacular, but non-existent in heavy fog.

For a culinary finish, skip the generic tourist traps and visit Tracy’s King Crab Shack for genuine local flavor. Juneau is a wet city—it lies in a temperate rainforest—so dress in waterproof layers to enjoy this spectacular intersection of civilization and wild frontier.

Skagway, Alaska

Skagway operates as a living museum of the 1898 Klondike Gold Rush, situated at the northern terminus of the Inside Passage. While the town’s year-round population is small, its historical footprint is massive. The downtown district is part of the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park, featuring meticulously restored false-front buildings and wooden boardwalks. It is undeniably tourist-centric, yet the preservation is authentic enough to transport you back to the era of prospectors and con artists. You can easily explore the core of Broadway Street in an hour or two, perhaps stopping at the Red Onion Saloon or the National Park Service visitor center for context.
Skagway, Alaska, hike, three friends hiking, exploring, adventure, misty clouds over mountains, forest, fun


However, we advise viewing Skagway primarily as a staging ground for the wilderness beyond. The town sits in a narrow, wind-swept valley, and the most dramatic scenery requires leaving the immediate port area. The definitive experience here is the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad. This narrow-gauge railway is an engineering masterpiece that climbs nearly 3,000 feet in just 20 miles, offering vertiginous views of gorges, waterfalls, and the Sawtooth Mountains. It is not merely a train ride; it is the most efficient and spectacular way to understand the geography that challenged gold seekers.

For a different perspective, Skagway is the premier port for flightseeing. Helicopter excursions to nearby glaciers—often combined with dog sledding—provide a sense of scale that ground-based tours cannot match. For those preferring to stay closer to sea level, a float down the Taiya River or a hike to Lower Reid Falls offers serenity away from the busy boardwalks. Ultimately, Skagway rewards those who book a specific adventure rather than wandering aimlessly.

Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier

Dawes Glacier in Endicott Arm fjord, Alaska
Endicott Arm offers a quintessential Alaskan experience, distinct from the commercial bustle of port towns. This is a day dedicated to scenic cruising, where the ship navigates a 30-mile fjord carved by ancient ice. The scale here is humbling; sheer granite cliffs rise thousands of feet directly from the emerald water, often decorated with vertical stripes of cascading waterfalls. Unlike the open ocean, the water here is usually calm, turning the fjord into a mirror for the scenery above.

The destination is the Dawes Glacier, an active tidewater glacier standing over 600 feet tall. As you approach, the water becomes cluttered with floating ice sculptures—from small 'bergy bits' to massive, sapphire-blue chunks. The highlight is the 'white thunder' of calving, where massive slabs of ice fracture and crash into the sea. While the visual is stunning, the sound is equally memorable.

Wildlife viewing is excellent here. Look for harbor seals hauling out on the ice floes near the glacier face—this is a primary breeding ground for them. Mountain goats appear as white specks on the high cliffs, and brown bears are occasionally spotted along the shoreline. We recommend spending this time on the open decks rather than behind glass; the sensory experience of the crisp air and the roar of the ice is lost indoors. If your itinerary offers a small boat excursion here, it is worth the investment to get closer to the water level and the glacier face.

Victoria, British Columbia

Victoria, Canada
Victoria is arguably the most civilized port of call in the Pacific Northwest, blending British colonial heritage with West Coast vitality. Ships dock at Ogden Point, a pleasant 20-minute coastal walk or short shuttle ride from the Inner Harbour. This central hub is the city’s beating heart, framed by the ivy-covered Fairmont Empress and the neo-baroque Parliament Buildings. It is compact, safe, and exceptionally walkable.

For many, the headline attraction is Butchart Gardens. While truly a horticultural masterpiece, we advise caution regarding logistics: the gardens are located 35-45 minutes from the port. Visiting requires a dedicated block of four hours, leaving little time for the city itself. If you are a devoted gardener, it is worth the journey; if you prefer a relaxed pace, the city center offers ample rewards without the commute.
Victoria, Canada


The Royal BC Museum is a standout recommendation for this demographic. It is one of North America's finest museums, featuring immersive exhibits on First Nations history and the region's natural evolution that are intellectually satisfying without being dry. Nearby, Government Street offers sophisticated strolling; look for Munro’s Books—set in a magnificent neoclassical building—and Rogers’ Chocolates for local heritage.

For a casual interlude, a short walk leads to Fisherman’s Wharf, where colorful houseboats and fresh halibut and chips offer a looser vibe. Whether you opt for High Tea at the Empress or a quiet walk through Beacon Hill Park to see the world’s tallest free-standing totem pole, Victoria delivers a polished, high-quality experience that respects your time.

Why Protect your Trip?

Whether you’re planning your next trip or you recently booked one, travel insurance can help smooth over many unexpected travel glitches—while putting your mind at ease, knowing you’re off the hook for covered expenses that could arise from them.

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can provide you benefits and professional support when a covered situation comes up before or during your trip. The following examples may qualify for benefits:

  • Cancelling your trip after unexpectedly becoming too sick to travel
  • Taking care of a sick or injured traveling companion
  • Having to end your trip early due to a family emergency
  • Dealing with a flight delay or cancellation
  • Needing to buy personal items if your luggage is lost or stolen
  • Missing your cruise departure after a covered flight delay

You also can contact our travel protection partner Allianz Global Assistance’s 24/7, award-winning customer service for on-the-go assistance with issues like a medical emergency, replacing your lost passport, or making reservations around the world. To be eligible for a time-sensitive waiver of pre-existing medical condition exclusions, purchase your travel insurance plan within 14 days of initial trip deposit (other purchase requirements and conditions apply). Specific plan benefits may vary. Please review your plan details for more information.

What Can Travel Insurance Help Protect?

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can protect you before and during your trip—keeping you, your loved ones, and your travel budget safer. Benefits vary by plan, and these are brief descriptions. Please read your plan documents for details.

TRIP CANCELLATION

Reimburses your prepaid, non-refundable travel expenses if you need to cancel your trip due to a covered reason, such as you, a family member, or traveling companion experiencing a covered illness or injury. Examples include:

  • A doctor says you or a traveling companion is too sick to fly
  • Your parent or child requires hospitalization
  • You need to attend the birth of a family member’s child
  • You have a traffic accident (not breakdown) on the way to the airport
  • A storm shuts down your airport for 24 hours or more

TRIP INTERRUPTION

Reimburses your unused, non-refundable travel expenses and increased transportation costs during your trip if you have to return home early due to a covered reason, for instance when a family member has a qualifying medical emergency and needs your care. Examples include:

  • You have a covered illness or injury and a doctor says you must return home
  • A family member has a qualifying injury and needs your care
  • A covered emergency, like a fire or flood, makes your home uninhabitable

TRAVEL DELAY

If you have a covered delay while traveling, travel insurance can reimburse you for meals, accommodations, and transportation expenses when your trip is delayed for a minimum number of consecutive hours for a covered reason. Minimum number of hours varies by plan.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE

Reimburses your expenses related to covered medical and dental emergencies* that might occur on your trip. This benefit can be especially helpful if you have a covered emergency outside the United States, as most health insurance policies won’t cover you outside the country. Examples include:

  • You slip and break your ankle while sightseeing
  • You get food poisoning while sampling the local cuisine
  • You lose a filling and need immediate dental treatment*

*A sublimit and maximum apply for this benefit. Check your plan documents for details.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION

Arranges and pays for medically necessary transportation following a covered injury or illness to the nearest appropriate medical facility to receive care and get you home after treatment.

BAGGAGE LOSS, DAMAGE, or THEFT

Reimburses the replacement of your lost, damaged, or stolen luggage and personal items while traveling.

BAGGAGE DELAY

Reimburses essential items purchased during your trip if your baggage is delayed for a minimum number of hours (varies by plan).

CHANGE FEE

Reimburses fees if you need to change your flight itinerary due to a covered reason.

24-HOUR ASSISTANCE

Provides around-the-clock support during your trip. Allianz Global Assistance’s staff of multilingual problem solvers can help you with medical, legal, and travel-related emergencies whenever they happen. Medical assistance may include, but is not limited to:

  • Medical triage with referrals to local prescreened medical providers
  • Ongoing medical monitoring
  • Payment guarantee
  • Emergency medical transportation

Additional services for travel-related emergencies can help with:

  • Missed connecting flights
  • Lost/stolen travel documents
  • Pre-trip information
  • Prescription replacements
