PROGRAM TOPICS
Life After DentistryDay 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.
Missing Element in Most Financial Plans
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.

BIAS FREE CME - No Commercial Support was provided for this CME activity.
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...
Dr. Neil Hiltunen is the co-founder of the Association of Retiring Dentists (ARD). After attending dental school at the University of Pennsylvania and completing a General Practice Residency in Chester Pennsylvania, he started a practice in North Hampton, NH.
He grew it, took in partners, and sold it, and continues to practice part time as part of his long-term transition plan. During his career he served in various positions in the New Hampshire Dental Society, and thirteen years serving on the New Hampshire Board of Dental Examiners, the last three as President.
Currently, In addition to practicing part-time, he volunteers in a local dental clinic, and works with the Commission on Dental Competency Assessments conducting licensing examinations at dental schools from Arizona to Nova Scotia.
The development of the Association of Retiring Dentists began in 2008 and continues to provide information to help dentists make the transition from full time practice to the next stage in their lives. This includes helping them find purpose, which may include volunteering in clinics for the underserved or otherwise using the skills acquired over a lifetime.

*Tentative course schedule, actual class times may differ.
Port Canaveral is the gateway to Florida's "Space Coast," a region where monumental human achievement meets serene natural wonder. The primary draw is the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, an essential experience for any inquisitive mind. Here, you can stand in the presence of the Space Shuttle Atlantis, marvel at the sheer scale of a Saturn V rocket, and gain a profound appreciation for the scientific dedication that propelled humanity beyond Earth's atmosphere. It is an intellectually stimulating day that perfectly balances education with awe.
Beyond the launchpads, the region offers a tranquil escape. The Canaveral National Seashore provides miles of pristine, undeveloped coastline—a perfect setting for a quiet walk or simply relaxing by the Atlantic. For a more immersive encounter with the local ecosystem, consider a kayaking excursion through the Banana River Lagoon, where you may glide past gentle manatees and wading birds in their natural habitat. The adjacent Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge is a sanctuary for hundreds of species, offering a peaceful counterpoint to a demanding professional life.
While the world-famous attractions of Orlando are just an hour's drive, the area offers more than theme parks. Discover the sophisticated charm of Winter Park, with its upscale boutiques and cafes along Park Avenue, or admire the world's most comprehensive collection of Louis Comfort Tiffany's works at the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art. For a more local flavor, historic Cocoa Village presents a walkable district of quaint shops, art galleries, and riverside dining, capturing the relaxed essence of “Old Florida.”
Nassau, Bahamas
Cruise line owned, licensed to agent
Nassau is a bustling, high-energy hub that requires a strategic approach to appreciate fully. The immediate port area is often congested and commercialized; your best experience lies in navigating beyond the souvenir stalls to find the island’s genuine character.
For a meaningful dose of history, a short walk leads to the Queen's Staircase, a remarkable 66-step passage carved from solid limestone by enslaved people in the 18th century. It ascends to Fort Fincastle, offering commanding views of the island and a quiet respite from the downtown noise. For a more refined local taste, the John Watling's Distillery on the historic Buena Vista Estate provides tours and tastings in a setting that feels worlds away from the cruise terminal.
If a classic beach day is your priority, we advise looking beyond the nearest options, which can be crowded and underwhelming. A taxi to the expansive sands of Cable Beach or, for a more curated experience, a day pass to one of the major resorts on Paradise Island will provide the tranquil, turquoise-water escape you envision. These passes often grant access to pristine private beaches and high-quality amenities, turning a potentially hectic port day into a truly relaxing one.
For the most authentic local flavor, take a taxi to Arawak Cay, known as 'The Fish Fry.' This is where Bahamians go for fresh conch salad, fried snapper, and a vibrant, casual atmosphere. It offers a true taste of the islands that the port-side buffets simply cannot match.
At Sea - Cruising
Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, U.S.V.I.
Charlotte Amalie is the heavy hitter of Caribbean cruising—energetic, scenic, and frequently crowded. While often marketed solely as a duty-free shopping haven, the island offers substantial rewards for those willing to look past the jewelry stores lining Main Street. The town itself is a steep amphitheater of red-roofed Danish colonial buildings rising from the harbor. For history buffs, a walk up the "99 Steps" (built from ship ballast bricks) or a visit to the red-walled Fort Christian provides context often missed by the average shopper.
Most visitors are here for the water. Magens Bay is the headline attraction—a heart-shaped, protected cove that is visually stunning but often packed with fellow cruisers. For a more relaxed experience with superior snorkeling, we recommend Sapphire Beach or the pristine, protected sands of Smith Bay Park (Lindquist Beach). If your ship docks at Havensight, the Skyride to Paradise Point offers the classic Caribbean vista and a convenient spot for a local Bushwacker cocktail.
Crucial Logistics: St. Thomas has two distinct cruise piers: Havensight (closer to town/Skyride) and Crown Bay (further west). Be sure to check your docking location, as it dictates your walking options. Traffic in Charlotte Amalie can be gridlocked in the afternoons; always pad your return time. Getting around is best done via "safari" taxis—converted open-air trucks. They are efficient and affordable, but confirm the fare before boarding. For those who have visited St. Thomas before, the ferry to neighboring St. John offers a quieter, more natural escape, though it requires careful time management.
Philipsburg, St. Maarten
St. Maarten offers a unique geopolitical curiosity: a 37-square-mile island divided between the Netherlands and France. While the cruise pier in Philipsburg (the Dutch side) is often crowded with multiple mega-ships, the island’s dual personality allows for a highly customizable day if you plan strategically.
Philipsburg itself is the commercial engine. Front Street is lined with duty-free jewelry and electronics stores; while convenient for shoppers, it can feel somewhat manufactured. For a more relaxed immediate option, the boardwalk along Great Bay offers decent beach bars and a view of the ships, though the water clarity here lags behind the rest of the island.
To experience the island's true charm, cross the border to the French side (St. Martin). The atmosphere shifts perceptibly in the capital of Marigot, with its open-air markets and colonial architecture. For the sophisticated traveler, the village of Grand Case is the highlight. Known as the culinary capital of the Caribbean, it features exceptional French-Creole cuisine in open-air "lolos" (local barbecue stands) and high-end bistros alike.
Regarding beaches, you have distinct choices:
Maho Beach offers the famous, adrenaline-fueled spectacle of jumbo jets landing just overhead at Princess Juliana International Airport—it is noisy, crowded, and absolutely unique.
For a classic European beach day, head to Orient Bay on the French side for white sand and upscale beach clubs.
A critical note on logistics: Traffic on St. Maarten can be notoriously heavy, particularly in the late afternoon. If venturing to the French side, allow ample buffer time for the return trip to the Philipsburg cruise terminal.

You have a traffic accident (not breakdown) on the way to the airport

A family member has a qualifying injury and needs your care
A covered emergency, like a fire or flood, makes your home uninhabitable
