PROGRAM TOPICS

This course will provide a working knowledge of the most common neurological problems and reinforce principles of clinical diagnosis while reviewing the symptoms and signs of most major neurological diseases. The seminar will also present clear, practical guidelines for managing these common problems including how to integrate laboratory tests and imaging techniques into the patient's evaluation. Finally, the current treatment for these disorders will be developed in sufficient detail to permit independent management or active participation in care with the neurologist.

Emphasis will be placed on clinical diagnosis and practical treatment with introduction of clinical neuroscience as needed to clarify management issues.

Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to: recognize the symptoms and signs of the most common neurological diseases; apply fundamental disease concepts to patient management; educate their patients regarding the basic concepts and natural history of these diseases and participate with their patients and consulting neurologists in decisions regarding modern disease therapy and prevention.

This seminar will be relevant to family practitioners, internists, neurologists and others who manage patients with neurological disorders.

Ports of Call

Seattle, Washington

At Sea - Cruising

Ketchikan, Alaska

Ketchikan is often the quintessential introduction to the Inside Passage, serving as a potent concentration of everything travelers seek in Alaska. Known as the "Salmon Capital of the World," the town balances a gritty industrial history of fishing and logging with the profound heritage of the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian peoples. Visitors should be prepared for "liquid sunshine"—this sits squarely in a temperate rainforest, and the frequent rain is an atmospheric element of the destination, not a deterrent.

For a relaxed day, the town is highly walkable. The centerpiece is Creek Street, a historic boardwalk built on pilings over the water. Formerly the city's notorious red-light district, it is now a charming, albeit busy, collection of galleries and local shops. In late summer, looking over the rails offers a front-row seat to thousands of salmon fighting their way upstream; the nearby fish ladder provides a fascinating, close-up view of this biological struggle.

To engage with the region's history beyond the souvenir shops, we recommend the Totem Heritage Center. Located a short walk or quick taxi ride from the bustle of the port, it houses an unparalleled collection of original 19th-century totem poles retrieved from deserted villages. Unlike the brightly repainted replicas found in parks, these are preserved in their natural, weathered state, offering a somber and powerful insight into Native artistry.

While the town is engaging, the true grandeur of this stop lies in the surrounding wilderness. If logistics and budget permit, a floatplane excursion to Misty Fjords National Monument is the definitive Ketchikan experience. Soaring past sheer granite cliffs and cascading waterfalls provides a perspective on Alaska’s scale that ground tours simply cannot match. Whether you explore the boardwalks or fly into the fjords, Ketchikan delivers a dense, accessible dose of the frontier.

Juneau, Alaska

A cruise passenger in a red jacket trekking across the vast, deep blue ice of Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau, Alaska. The rugged mountain peaks in the background highlight the immense scale of this iconic glacier hiking shore excursion.
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.

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.

Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier

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.

Inside Passage

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.

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.

Victoria, British Columbia

Lush stone staircase winding through the vibrant Sunken Garden at Butchart Gardens in Victoria, BC. A top-tier shore excursion for Alaska cruise passengers, featuring world-class floral displays and manicured landscapes.
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.

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
