PROGRAM PURPOSE

The practice of medicine requires a commitment to ongoing professional development and lifelong learning. As practitioners we are constantly asked to reexamine the use of previously embraced disease management scripts while incorporating new and novel evidence based approaches to patient care.

It most certainly is a balancing act. Through the presentation of evidence based approaches to the diagnosis and/or management of systolic congestive heart failure, dizziness, type 2 diabetes mellitus, office-based emergencies, arthropathy, disease prevention through diet, and deep venous thrombosis, we will merge the familiar and useful care pathways with what is seen as original, progressive, and effective.

Topics:
  1. Ambulatory Management of Congestive Heart Failure
    • Recognize congestive heart failure exacerbations in the ambulatory setting
    • Determine when parenteral diuretic use would be clinically indicated
    • Recommend the appropriate type and dose of diuretic
    • Determine laboratory and clinical follow up parameters
    • Recognize when patients require a higher level of care
  2. Dizziness - the diagnostic and management conundrum
    • Define and describe the clinical manifestations of dizziness
    • Differentiate between central and peripheral dizziness

  3. Oral Hypoglycemic Medications for type 2 DM management - what is the evidence?
    • Describe the different classes of oral hypoglycemic medications available for management of type 2 diabetes
    • Evaluate the efficacy of these medications in preventing morbidity and mortality
    • Select the most appropriate oral hypoglycemic based on individual patient parameters
    • Understand and recognize the potential risks posed by each class of medications
  4. Office Emergencies - management without disruption
    • Develop a brief training and simulation program, using the team STEPPS model (strategies and tools to enhance performance and patient safety)
    • Recognize and manage early anaphylaxis in the office
    • Recognize and manage acute coronary syndrome in the office
    • Recognize and manage acute COPD or asthma exacerbation in the office
  5. Steroid Joint Injections - minimal effort and maximal benefit
    • Understand the risks and benefits of cortisone joint injections
    • Employ evidence based injection techniques that decrease the risk of infections
    • Select the appropriate steroid, analgesic, needle, and syringe for the planned injection
    • Review the correct technique of injection
  6. Food as a prescription
    • Identify dietary modifications that decrease cardiovascular risk
    • Identify dietary modifications that decrease cancer risk and mortality
    • Recognize dietary choices that decrease the risk of diabetes
  7. Lower Extremity Deep Venous Thrombosis Diagnosis - How and Why?
    • Recognize when a deep venous thrombosis diagnosis needs to be considered
    • Choose the appropriate test for the diagnosis of deep venous thromboses
    • Correlate the ultrasound findings to the appropriate clinical diagnosis
  8. Prostate Cancer Update

PORTS OF CALL

Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Part French, part English, and entirely captivating, Montreal offers a seamless blend of Old World charm and North American energy. Your arrival at the Grand Quay places you directly at the threshold of history in Vieux-Montréal (Old Montreal). Spend your day wandering the same cobblestone streets that have welcomed visitors for centuries, admiring the 17th- and 18th-century architecture that lines the vibrant Place Jacques-Cartier. A short walk leads to the breathtaking Notre-Dame Basilica, a masterpiece of Gothic Revival design whose soaring, deep-blue ceiling is a sight to behold.

For a change of perspective, ascend Mount Royal, the city’s beloved green heart designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. From the Kondiaronk Belvedere, you’ll be rewarded with a panoramic view of the cityscape and the St. Lawrence River. Culture seekers can immerse themselves in the world-class collections at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts or find tranquility among the themed landscapes of the expansive Botanical Garden.

No visit is complete without indulging in the city’s iconic culinary scene. This is your chance to discover an authentic poutine, savor a classic Montreal-style smoked meat sandwich, or debate the merits of a St-Viateur versus a Fairmount bagel. From its historic streets to its modern flavors, Montreal provides a rich, accessible, and deeply rewarding day of exploration.

Quebec City, Quebec, Canada

Quebec City is a genuine treasure—a port where you can step off the ship and directly into the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage site. This is North America’s most convincingly European city, a place where the continent’s French soul is palpable. The cruise terminal’s prime location at the foot of Old Quebec means the city’s best is immediately accessible on foot.

The experience is best understood as two distinct but connected areas. Begin in the Lower Town (Basse-Ville), a beautifully preserved 17th-century neighborhood. Here, you can wander the narrow cobblestone lanes of the Quartier Petit Champlain, browse artisan boutiques, and relax at a Parisian-style café in the historic Place-Royale, the very spot where Samuel de Champlain founded the city.

From there, take the Funicular or climb the aptly named “Breakneck Stairs” to the Upper Town (Haute-Ville). This area is defined by the iconic silhouette of the Château Frontenac, which presides over the Dufferin Terrace—a wide boardwalk offering panoramic views of the St. Lawrence River. Walk the fortified walls that encircle the old city, the only of their kind remaining north of Mexico, and explore the nearby Citadelle de Québec, an active military installation with a rich history. Just beyond the walls lie the Plains of Abraham, the historic battlefield that is now a magnificent urban park, perfect for a quiet stroll. Quebec City doesn't require organized tours to be enjoyed; its primary allure is the simple, profound pleasure of exploring its historic, atmospheric streets.

Gulf Of St. Lawrence

It's important to understand that the Gulf of St. Lawrence isn't a port of call, but rather a magnificent day of scenic cruising. Think of it as the destination itself—a day to relax on deck and witness the immense scale of Eastern Canada's maritime landscape. As your ship navigates this vast inland sea, the world's largest estuary, you're tracing the historic entry point into the continent.

The experience is one of quiet observation and natural grandeur. Keep your binoculars ready, as this is a rich marine ecosystem. Depending on the season and your route, you may spot minke or fin whales, pods of dolphins, and colonies of seals on distant shores. The distant, rugged coastlines of Quebec, Newfoundland, and the Maritime provinces unfold, dotted with remote fishing villages and lonely lighthouses that stand as monuments to the region's formidable seafaring history. This is a day to appreciate the journey, enjoy the ship's amenities with a dramatic natural backdrop, and understand the sheer wildness that defines this beautiful part of the world.

Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island

Charlottetown offers a disarmingly pleasant and walkable experience right from the port. As Canada's "Birthplace of Confederation," its history is felt in the stately Victorian architecture and grand public squares, all easily explored on foot. The downtown core is compact and inviting; a stroll down the brick-paved Victoria Row, a seasonal pedestrian street lined with galleries, boutiques, and cafes, is a perfect introduction to the city's relaxed pace.

For many, the main draw lies just outside the city in the rolling countryside that inspired L.M. Montgomery's *Anne of Green Gables*. Reaching the iconic Green Gables Heritage Place requires a dedicated excursion, but it is an essential pilgrimage for literary fans. Back in town, the culinary scene is a genuine highlight. Prince Edward Island is renowned for its seafood, and sampling fresh mussels or a classic lobster roll provides an authentic taste of the island. Charlottetown is not a bustling metropolis; its considerable appeal lies in its gentle rhythm, historic charm, and the simple pleasures of a well-preserved seaside capital.

Sydney, Nova Scotia

Sydney serves as the welcoming gateway to Cape Breton Island, a place where rugged coastal beauty and deep-rooted Gaelic history converge. The town itself is modest, centered around a pleasant waterfront promenade and the world's largest fiddle—a perfect spot for a quick photo. The true value of a day here, however, lies in venturing beyond the city limits.

Visitors face a compelling choice between two distinct, high-quality experiences. You can journey back to the 18th century at the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site. This is not a ruin, but a meticulous, full-scale reconstruction of a French fortified town where you can walk the streets, interact with costumed interpreters, and gain a tangible sense of life in 1744. It’s an immersive and educational experience, particularly for those with an interest in North American history.

Alternatively, you can experience a segment of the world-renowned Cabot Trail. A day trip allows for a drive along a dramatic portion of this coastal route, revealing stunning ocean vistas, highland scenery, and a glimpse into the island's enduring Scottish heritage. It’s an opportunity to appreciate the wild, natural character that defines Cape Breton. A day in Sydney is best spent choosing one of these significant excursions.

Halifax, Nova Scotia

Halifax is a port city that feels immediately accessible and authentic, its identity deeply intertwined with the sea. Ships dock conveniently near the city center, allowing for an easy, independent exploration of its historic core. The waterfront boardwalk is the natural starting point, a vibrant pathway lined with restored warehouses now housing artisan shops, galleries, and pubs. The air here carries the scent of salt and fried fish, setting a distinctly maritime tone.

A short walk from the piers, the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic offers compelling exhibits that connect directly to the city’s soul. Its collection includes poignant artifacts from the Titanic disaster—as Halifax was the primary recovery base—and a moving account of the catastrophic 1917 Halifax Explosion. This is not a trivial museum; it’s a powerful look into the events that shaped the North Atlantic.

For a commanding view and a dose of military history, a steady uphill walk leads to the Halifax Citadel National Historic Site. This star-shaped fort has guarded the harbor for centuries. The noon gun is a daily tradition, and the costumed interpreters portraying the 78th Highlanders bring the past to life. Back at sea level, the Victorian-era Public Gardens offer a serene and beautifully maintained contrast to the bustling waterfront.

While the iconic Peggy’s Cove lighthouse is a popular excursion, Halifax itself offers more than enough to fill a day. The city’s appeal lies in its blend of significant history, a lively but relaxed pub culture, and a genuine, unpretentious welcome.

Bar Harbor, Maine, US

Boston, Massachusetts

Boston is far more than a departure point; it’s the prologue to your grand voyage, a city that deserves to be experienced, not just seen from a taxi window. As your travel advocates, our strongest advice is this: fly in at least a day or two early. Treating Boston as merely a logistical stop is a missed opportunity. Arriving ahead of schedule isn't just a practical buffer against flight delays or lost luggage—it’s an investment in starting your vacation relaxed, immersed, and inspired.

This is one of America’s most significant and walkable cities, where centuries of history are etched into the brick sidewalks and modern life buzzes in world-class restaurants and contemporary art spaces. It’s a city that rewards curiosity, and a pre-cruise stay allows you to explore it on your own terms.

**Getting Your Bearings**

From Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), you have several excellent options. The most scenic is the water taxi, which offers a stunning introduction to the city skyline as it zips you to downtown landings. For pure efficiency, the MBTA's Silver Line bus is a free (from the airport) and direct route to the Seaport District and South Station. Of course, taxis and ride-sharing services are readily available. We recommend staying in the Seaport for modern hotels and proximity to the cruise terminal, or in Back Bay for classic brownstone charm and access to shopping and parks.

**A Suggested 24-Hour Boston Immersion**

**Morning: Walk Through History**

Start your day where America did. The 2.5-mile Freedom Trail is not a stuffy history lesson; it’s an engaging, self-guided walk through the heart of the revolution. Follow the red brick line from the tranquil Boston Common, past the gold-domed State House, and into the Granary Burying Ground, the final resting place of Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, and John Hancock. The trail leads you to Faneuil Hall, a historic meeting place now surrounded by the bustling Quincy Market. While certainly tourist-focused, the market is an excellent, no-fuss lunch stop. Grab a classic lobster roll or a bowl of New England clam chowder and soak in the lively atmosphere.

**Afternoon: The Charm of the North End & Beacon Hill**

From Faneuil Hall, cross the Greenway into the North End, Boston’s vibrant “Little Italy.” The streets narrow, the architecture shifts, and the air fills with the scent of espresso and garlic. Here you’ll find the Paul Revere House and the Old North Church of “one if by land, two if by sea” fame. It feels like a village unto itself.

Afterward, make your way to Beacon Hill. This is the Boston of postcards: steep streets lined with gas lamps, elegant brick rowhouses, and hidden gardens. A walk down Acorn Street, one of the most photographed lanes in the country, is a must for its quintessential colonial charm.

**Evening: An Authentic Italian Dinner**

Return to the North End for dinner. This is an essential Boston experience, but a little planning goes a long way. The neighborhood’s tiny, family-owned restaurants are legendary, and reservations are absolutely critical, often weeks in advance. Whether you seek a classic “red sauce” joint or a more modern interpretation of Italian cuisine, the quality and authenticity are exceptional. A pre-dinner cannoli from either Mike’s Pastry or Modern Pastry (the city’s great debate) is a non-negotiable rite of passage.

**If You Have a Second Day**

With more time, you can explore further. Art lovers should head to the magnificent Museum of Fine Arts or the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, a stunning Venetian-style palace with an eclectic collection and a fascinating story of the world’s largest unsolved art heist. For a different perspective, explore the chic boutiques and galleries of the South End, or cross the Charles River to Cambridge to wander the hallowed grounds of Harvard University.

By the time you board your ship, you won’t just be departing from a city; you’ll be carrying with you the spirit of a place that shaped a nation. You’ll be more relaxed, more enriched, and ready for the journey ahead. That is the value of arriving early.

  • Cancelling your trip after unexpectedly becoming too sick to travel
  • Taking care of a sick or injured traveling companion

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
