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.

Lerwick (Shetland), Scotland

Lerwick is the heart of the remote Shetland Islands, an archipelago where rugged landscapes are deeply etched with Norse and Scottish history. This is not a destination of grand monuments, but of authentic, resilient culture. The town itself is best explored on foot, starting from the historic waterfront and wandering through the narrow, flagstone-paved lanes. The absolute highlight is the Shetland Museum and Archives, a superb modern facility that brilliantly tells the story of the islands' unique geology, archaeology, and maritime heritage. A short walk from the town center leads to the Clickimin Broch, an impressive Iron Age stone tower offering a tangible connection to Shetland's ancient past. For a piece of local culture, seek out the shops selling world-renowned Fair Isle and Shetland knitwear. While you may spot the famous hardy ponies in nearby fields, a short taxi ride or local tour is the most reliable way to see them. Lerwick offers a compelling look into a distinctive corner of the world, rewarding the curious traveler with a strong sense of place and history.

Glasgow (Greenock), Scotland

It's important to know that your port of call is Greenock, a town on the River Clyde located about 45-60 minutes by train or coach from central Glasgow. While Greenock itself has modest charms, the primary destination is Scotland's largest and most dynamic city.

Glasgow is a city of striking contrasts, where grand Victorian architecture stands alongside modern design, and a proud industrial past has given way to a vibrant, creative present. Once you arrive, the city is very walkable. A great starting point is George Square, the city's civic heart, surrounded by impressive municipal buildings. From there, you can explore the high-end shops of the 'Style Mile' or the more independent boutiques and restaurants of the Merchant City.

For art and culture, the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is a world-class institution with an astonishingly diverse collection, from Salvador Dalí's 'Christ of Saint John of the Cross' to a WWII Spitfire. Admission is free, making it an excellent use of time. Architecture enthusiasts should seek out the works of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the city's most famous design visionary. While the Glasgow School of Art remains closed after a fire, you can still appreciate his style at the Willow Tea Rooms.

For a dose of history, the medieval Glasgow Cathedral is a magnificent example of Gothic architecture, and the adjacent Necropolis offers panoramic city views from its atmospheric, hilltop perch. If a city excursion feels too rushed, an alternative is a trip to the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond, offering a classic taste of Scottish scenery just a short drive from the port.

Belfast, Northern Ireland

Belfast presents a compelling duality: a city reborn from a complex past and the gateway to one of the world's most dramatic coastlines. The choice of how to spend your day here is the most significant one you'll make. The city itself is anchored by the Titanic Quarter, home to the stunning, architecturally significant Titanic Belfast. This is not a dusty museum, but an immersive experience that tells the story of the legendary ship from its conception and construction to its tragic end. Nearby, you can board the SS Nomadic, the last remaining White Star Line vessel.

For a deeper understanding of the city's more recent history, a Black Cab tour is essential. These tours, often led by drivers with personal connections to the era, provide a balanced and poignant narrative of 'The Troubles' as you view the political murals of the Shankill and Falls Roads and the towering Peace Wall that still divides them. Alternatively, the city center is a vibrant hub of Victorian architecture, centered around the magnificent City Hall and the lively St. George's Market.

The alternative is a full-day excursion north to the Antrim Coast. This journey showcases the UNESCO-listed Giant's Causeway, an extraordinary landscape of 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, and the scenic coastal drive is an attraction in itself. Be advised, this is an all-or-nothing trip; committing to the coast means forgoing a proper exploration of Belfast. The decision rests on your priorities: profound urban history or breathtaking natural wonder.

Liverpool, England

Liverpool greets you directly at its historic heart. Your ship docks at Pier Head, placing you immediately before the "Three Graces," the trio of majestic buildings that define one of the world's most famous waterfronts. This exceptional access makes Liverpool an incredibly rewarding and walkable port of call.

The city's cultural gravity is undeniable, and while the legacy of The Beatles is a primary draw, it's just one layer of a complex and compelling destination. A short stroll leads to the Royal Albert Dock, a stunning example of Victorian industrial architecture masterfully repurposed into a cultural hub. Here you can explore The Beatles Story museum, but don't miss the outstanding national museums also housed in these brick warehouses. The Maritime Museum chronicles the city's seafaring past, while the powerful International Slavery Museum offers a sobering and essential perspective on the history that built much of that wealth. For modern art enthusiasts, the Tate Liverpool is also conveniently located here.

Beyond the docks, the city's spirit unfolds. Music fans can make the pilgrimage to Mathew Street and the legendary Cavern Club. For a grander sense of scale, consider a taxi or a longer walk to the city's two astonishingly different cathedrals: the soaring, traditional Anglican Cathedral and the strikingly modern, circular Metropolitan Cathedral. Liverpool is not a city of quaint English charm; it is a proud, resilient, and deeply creative place with a story to tell on every corner.

Cobh (Cork), Ireland

Waterford (Dunmore East), Ireland

Your arrival point is the picturesque fishing village of Dunmore East, a charming introduction to Ireland's "Sunny South East." While the village itself, with its thatched cottages and scenic cliff walk, is a pleasant spot, the main destination is a short drive away: Waterford, the country's oldest city.

Founded by Vikings in 914, Waterford's compact historic core, the "Viking Triangle," is easily explored on foot. Here, a trio of excellent museums tells the city's story: Reginald's Tower, a stone fortress housing Viking artifacts; the Medieval Museum, with its stunning 15th-century vestments; and the elegant Bishop's Palace, which details the city's Georgian past.

The city's most famous export is, of course, its crystal. A visit to the House of Waterford Crystal is essential for anyone interested in craftsmanship. The factory tour provides a fascinating, up-close look at the entire process, from the intense heat of the blowing room to the meticulous detail of the master cutters and engravers. Waterford offers a focused and rewarding day, combining a deep dive into Viking history with an appreciation for world-renowned artistry.

Dover (London), England

Your arrival at Dover is one of cruising’s most dramatic moments, as the legendary White Cliffs rise from the sea to welcome you to England. From this historic port, you have a difficult but delightful choice to make for your day ashore. For a day steeped in millennia of history, you need not venture far. Dominating the skyline is Dover Castle, a magnificent fortress that has served as the “Key to England” for centuries. Explore its Roman lighthouse, medieval Great Tower, and the secret wartime tunnels where the Dunkirk evacuation was masterminded—a truly compelling look into 20th-century history.

A short journey inland brings you to the charming city of Canterbury, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Walk the medieval streets that inspired Chaucer’s tales and stand in the nave of the breathtaking Canterbury Cathedral, the site of Archbishop Thomas Becket’s infamous 12th-century murder. The city offers a perfect blend of history, culture, and boutique shopping in a manageable, walkable setting.

Of course, the magnetic pull of London is undeniable. While it requires a longer journey, a focused day trip can be immensely rewarding. You might choose to immerse yourself in the heart of royal and political London, visiting Westminster Abbey and viewing the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. Alternatively, delve into world-class art at the National Gallery, explore the Tower of London’s storied past, or enjoy the vibrant atmosphere and street performers at Covent Garden. Whichever path you choose, Dover serves as your gateway to the rich historical and cultural tapestry of southern England.

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
