PROGRAM TOPICS
It has been documented that 30% of patients who visit a primary care practice either present with a skin problem or show the provider a skin problem during their visit. These lectures present a tried and true approach to the treatment of skin disease. First, primary and secondary lesions are identified; second, an appropriate history is obtained; thirdly, a differential diagnosis is developed; fourthly, office dermatologic tests and other lab studies are used to refine the diagnosis; and, finally, a treatment is prescribed. All lectures will emphasize the team-based care approach used at the University of Mississippi where all members of the health care team work together with a carefully choreographed approach that encourages all members of the team to work at the top of the abilities and certification.
Common skin conditions will be reviewed with this approach in mind including, acne, warts, psoriasis, benign and malignant tumors, drug eruptions, basic and advanced dermatologic procedures and mission dermatology in underdeveloped countries. These lectures will be supplemented with interactive, Socratic discussions of common dermatologic conditions and "Ask the Professor" discussions involving clinical material brought to the sessions by attendees on a USB drive.
Attendees will leave this meeting energized to identify dermatologic problems, efficiently diagnose these conditions and effectively treat them.

Ports of Call
Seattle, Washington
Logistics and Layout: The Tale of Two Terminals - Before planning your itinerary, it is vital to know your departure point. Seattle utilizes two primary cruise terminals located miles apart. Pier 66 (Bell Street) is located directly on the downtown waterfront, walkable to Pike Place Market and many hotels. Pier 91 (Smith Cove) is located in Interbay, north of downtown, requiring a taxi or rideshare to reach the city center. Knowing your specific terminal is crucial for hotel selection and embarkation day planning. From Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac), the Link Light Rail provides reliable, traffic-free transit to downtown (Westlake Station) for a fraction of the cost of a cab, though a rideshare is recommended if you have heavy luggage.
A Curated 48-Hour Pre- or Post-Cruise Itinerary - Day 1: The Market, The Waterfront, and The Glass
Start your morning early at Pike Place Market. While often crowded, it remains the authentic beating heart of the city. Arrive by 8:00 AM to watch the vendors set up before the tourist crush. Beyond the famous fish toss, explore the lower levels where eclectic shops hide in the labyrinthine architecture. For breakfast, bypass the original Starbucks line (it is merely a storefront) and instead visit Le Panier for French pastries or Lowell’s for seafood hangtown fry with water views. If you appreciate culinary history, a stop at Beecher’s Handmade Cheese to watch the cheddar-making process is essential.
From the market, descend the Pike Street Hillclimb to the waterfront. The area has undergone massive renovation. Walk north through the Olympic Sculpture Park, a free, open-air museum where monumental art frames the view of the Olympic Mountains across Puget Sound. It is a serene counterpoint to the market's bustle.
In the afternoon, head to the Seattle Center. While the Space Needle offers iconic views, the true artistic highlight is Chihuly Garden and Glass. The vibrant, organic glass sculptures by Dale Chihuly are displayed in a way that blurs the line between art and nature. It is a visually stunning experience that consistently ranks as a client favorite. Adjacent is the Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP), a Frank Gehry-designed structure housing immersive exhibits on music, sci-fi, and pop culture—worth a visit if you have specific interests in Nirvana, Jimi Hendrix, or cinema history.
Day 2: Maritime Heritage and Neighborhood Culture - Seattle’s true character lives in its neighborhoods. Dedicate your second day to exploring beyond the downtown core.
*Option A: The Maritime Soul (Ballard)*
Take a rideshare to Ballard, a historic Scandinavian fishing neighborhood. Start at the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks (Ballard Locks). Watching vessels of all sizes traverse the locks between the saltwater sound and freshwater lakes is fascinating engineering theater. In late summer, the fish ladder offers a viewing window to watch salmon migrating upstream—a perfect primer for an Alaska voyage. Afterward, explore Ballard Avenue, lined with boutiques and some of the city's best dining. This area is also the heart of Seattle's brewery scene; a stop at a local taproom offers a taste of the region's craft beer culture.
*Option B: The Island Escape (Bainbridge)*
For a change of pace, walk to the ferry terminal on the downtown waterfront and board a Washington State Ferry to Bainbridge Island. The 35-minute crossing offers the single best view of the Seattle skyline and, on clear days, Mount Rainier. This is not a tour boat; it is public transit, offering an authentic slice of local life. Upon docking, the town of Winslow is a short walk away. It is sophisticated yet small-town, filled with bookstores, bakeries (Blackbird Bakery is a standout), and wine tasting rooms. It is the perfect way to decompress before boarding a busy cruise ship.
*Option C: History and Architecture (Pioneer Square)*
For history enthusiasts, Pioneer Square offers a look at Seattle’s origins. The architecture here is Romanesque Revival, distinct from the glass towers uptown. We recommend the Underground Tour—while campy, it provides a genuine look at the city’s history of burning down and rebuilding on top of itself. Be aware that this neighborhood can feel grittier than others, reflecting the complex urban realities of the West Coast.
Dining and Coffee Culture - Seattle takes food seriously. For a quintessential Pacific Northwest dinner, look for menus highlighting Dungeness crab, Penn Cove mussels, and Copper River salmon. The Pink Door in Pike Place (reservations required weeks in advance) offers Italian-American classics with entertainment, while The Walrus and the Carpenter in Ballard is the gold standard for oysters.
Regarding coffee: You are in the coffee capital of the U.S. While Starbucks is ubiquitous, seek out the Starbucks Reserve Roastery on Capitol Hill for a theatrical, high-end coffee experience that differs vastly from the corner shop. Alternatively, support independent roasters like Victrola, Espresso Vivace, or Storyville for a superior cup.
Honest Expectations - Seattle is a city of hills; comfortable walking shoes are non-negotiable. The weather is famously changeable. Summer days are often glorious and dry, but the "shoulder seasons" (May and September) can bring the signature grey drizzle. Pack layers and a light rain jacket rather than an umbrella, which marks you instantly as a tourist. Finally, like many major West Coast cities, downtown Seattle faces challenges with homelessness. While generally safe, it is wise to stay aware of your surroundings, particularly in the Pioneer Square and 3rd Avenue areas at night.
By dedicating time to Seattle, you ground your vacation in the culture of the Pacific Northwest, ensuring your cruise is a continuation of the journey rather than the only event.
At Sea - Cruising
Alaska Inside Passage
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
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
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
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
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.
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.

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
