Life After Dentistry
Round-trip Port Canaveral, Florida
March 24 - 31, 2019
4.0 Contact Hours
Session Fee: $295 includes spouse/significant other and a copy of Dr. Roadburg's book "Life After Dentistry"
Day 1: Life After Dentistry (3 hours) Presented by Dr. Alan Roadburg.
True retirement happiness is not based on money alone, but on being able to replace satisfactions, such as social interaction, challenge, involvement, achievement, etc., lost from work. Life After Dentistry includes our exclusive Life Goal Planning approach to address this important issue and to create a retirement that will be worthwhile and enjoyable. The program is grounded in our exclusive research on 575 retired and semi-retired dentists, so you can learn from their experiences and advice.
Each participant will receive a copy of the Life After Dentistry workbook (retails at $44 on the ADA website), and spouses/significant others are encouraged to attend.
You will learn:
- The key to retirement happiness
- How to evaluate/improve current plans
- How to create new plans (if necessary)
- How to incorporate life goal planning with your financial plan
- New insights into:
- The decision to retire
- Working in retirement
- Spousal relations
- Single in retirement
- Moving at retirement
- and more.
Although this is not a financial planning program, Life After Dentistry can provide the element missing from most retirement plans, namely determining a financial goal based on your retirement life goal, needs and aspirations. In this way Life After Dentistry can help to truly personalize your financial plan.
Day 2: Science and Passion of Retiring (1 hour) Presented by Dr. Neil Hiltunen
At this course you can expect to have an overview of factors that influence retirement and the actions we take in making retirement decisions. Scientific factors such as Biology, Sociology, and Psychology not only form the basis of our retirement environment but also, when understood, can help make for more fulfilling and successful retirement years. Retirement can be the best time of our lives, and when we understand the science we can be free to discover our passion by combining happiness and purpose.
Alan Roadburg, PHD
Dr. Alan Roadburg's experience in the non-financial or lifestyle side of retirement planning is both academic and practical. He has a PHD in Sociology from the University of Edinburgh, and was a tenured professor at Dalhousie University, specializing in Social Gerontology (the Sociology of Aging), Sociology of Retirement, and the Sociology of Work and Leisure. During that time, he interviewed 400 retirees, and the results were published in his book 'Work and Leisure in Retirement'. He was also an Adjunct Professor at Simon Fraser University.
In 1986, Dr. Roadburg changed careers to establish the Second Career Retirement Program to develop and present his unique Life Goal Planning approach to retirement, for corporate and public sector clients (e.g. GM, Unilever, Bell Telephone, and many more). Subsequently, he began to specialize with various professional groups including dentists, physicians, teachers, and police officers, by surveying retirees from each group. Life After Dentistry is grounded in the results of research among 575 retired and semi-retired dentists in the US and Canada. This research is a unique and valuable resource for any retiring or retired dentist...

Ports of Call
Port Canaveral, Florida - As the home of Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral is the launching point for all-out adventure in Central Florida. Its beaches offer a mix of family-friendly shores and secluded swaths of sand. And with Orlando’s theme park sprawl only an hour away, you can easily mingle with your favorite characters. Beyond the parks lie equally amusing gems packed with Old Florida character. Kayak past manatees in the Banana River Lagoon and zip line above alligators at Brevard Zoo. Discover notable art museums and Park Avenue’s ritzy charm. Orlando cruises give you access to trace the region’s roots at the Orange County Regional History Museum.
Nassau, Bahamas - Caribbean charm shines in the Bahamian capital, where you’re never more than a few steps away from rhythmic percussions, appetizing flavors, white-sand beaches, and some of the clearest waters in the world. This picture-perfect paradise was once a pirate’s haven— and you can explore its colorful past of buccaneers, blockade-runners and bootleggers along historical streets and at the three colonial fortresses that line the shores. If you’re looking for a more hands-on maritime adventure, look no further. Cruisers to Nassau can swim with stingrays, dive with dolphins, or spot colorful coral on a glass-bottom boat.
At Sea - Cruising - Cruising
Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, U.S.V.I. - Named after a Danish Queen, Charlotte Amalie has one of the most breathtaking deepwater harbors in the world. The key sights of Charlotte Amalie are located within the town centre, making it easy to combine sightseeing with St. Thomas’ fantastic shopping opportunities. Eighteenth century architecture provides the perfect backdrop for walking tours and shopping here in the "Duty Free Capital of the World." For a dose of history, visit Emancipation Park, the American-Caribbean History Museum, or Bluebeard the pirate's castle at Magen’s Bay. If tropical bliss is what you're after, head to any of Charlotte Amalie’s pristine beaches, where the warm water, white sands and palm trees will lull you into deep relaxation!
Philipsburg, St. Maarten - The capital of the Dutch side of St. Maarten is the town of Philipsburg, though St. Maarten is an island with two distinct sides. To the north is the French side, whose capital is Marigot, while Philipsburg sits on the southern part of the island. When exploring on cruises that go to St. Maarten, it’s important to visit both sides to understand their customs and heritage.
You’ll quickly be charmed by all sides of the island. Of course, this Caribbean island is best known for its beaches, like Maho Beach or Great Bay Beach, one of the area’s best snorkeling spots. Sample local seafood or rum during your time in port, which have become symbols of St. Maarten life. There’s just enough to fill the day here, especially if you hop between the French and Dutch beaches.
