PROGRAM PURPOSE

There have been several changes in, and new recommendations for, the treatment of various cardiac risk factors. Meanwhile there has been an evolution as well as a reassessment of the approach to chest pain, heart attack and cardiac arrest patients. Using a case-based multidisciplinary approach we will review these changes in patient care from office to the emergency department.

Providers will learn the latest recommendations allowing them to develop better patient care strategies. They will also learn the most common types of STEMIs (ST elevation MIs), how to rapidly recognize them as well as the dangers of excessive oxygen and ventilation during resuscitation. Common medical errors and their avoidance will also be discussed.

Finally, despite discussions about walls and fears of terrorist incidents, worldwide travel and immigration continues. It is important to understand the potential dangers of traveling for yourself and your patients as well as to recognize some of the diseases that returning travelers and immigrants can present with.

Topics:
  1. Travel Medicine: Preparation and Prevention
    • Assess appropriately the medical risk to the traveler
    • List commonly needed Immunizations for travelers
    • Implement helpful travel preventative treatments
    • Utilize travel medicine related website resources
  2. There is a What in My ED (or Clinic)?
    • Identify common and not so common diseases of travelers and immigrants
    • Assess returning travelers presenting with varied complaints
    • Discuss treatment options
  3. Tackling the Opiate Crisis: An overview of Suboxone
    • Discuss the role suboxone can play in the treatment of an opiate addict
    • Identify potential candidates for suboxone (or other MAT) treatment
    • Review the limits of treatment
  4. Medical Error Reduction: Optimizing Outcomes and Patient Safety
    • Identify potential sources of medical errors in the way they approach pt assessment and diagnosis
    • Discuss how functioning as a team with open communication and no fault reporting can help prevent errors
    • Iincorporate this understanding into their approach to patients
  5. Updates in the Management of CV and CAD from Office to the ED
    • Summarize some of the changes in guidelines
    • Incorporate the latest guidelines and recommendations into daily practice
    • Rapidly identify a STEMI on ECG
    • Describe changes in EMS and ED care of the patient with chest pain or STEMI

    • Describe the dangers of excessive ventilation
    • Identify errors in ventilation
    • List the techniques to mitigate and correct this
    • Apply this information in the treatment of respiratory and cardiac arrest

PORTS OF CALL

Seattle, Washington

At Sea - Cruising

Alaska Inside Passage

The Inside Passage isn't a port of call; for many, it is the entire point of an Alaskan cruise. This is not a day for shore excursions but a full immersion into one of the planet's most magnificent natural corridors. As your ship navigates these protected waters, you're traveling through a world carved by glaciers, where thousand-foot waterfalls cascade down sheer granite cliffs and the vast Tongass National Forest blankets every island.

The primary activity here is observation, and it is absolutely captivating. Find a spot on deck or on your balcony—with good binoculars in hand—and prepare to be humbled. The silence of the fjords is often broken only by the cry of a bald eagle or the thunderous crack of a tidewater glacier calving into the sea. This is where you'll witness the famous 'glacial blue,' an ethereal color that glows from within massive ice fields like those in Glacier Bay or Tracy Arm Fjord.

Keep a constant watch on the water. The passage is a rich feeding ground for humpback whales, and seeing one breach is an unforgettable, heart-stopping moment. Pods of orcas are also a common sight, as are sea lions barking from rocky haul-outs. Look toward the shore, and you might even spot a brown bear foraging along the water's edge at low tide.

Our best advice is simple: dress in warm layers, get outside, and listen to the onboard naturalist's commentary, which adds invaluable context to the spectacle. This is a profound, meditative experience—a chance to disconnect and witness the raw, untamed power of nature in a way that few places on Earth can offer.

Juneau, Alaska

Juneau is a quintessential Alaskan port, a capital city uniquely isolated by wilderness and accessible only by air or sea. This isolation is its charm, creating a place where dramatic nature is always the main event. The undisputed star is the Mendenhall Glacier, a magnificent river of ice just a short drive from the docks. The visitor center provides spectacular views, but for a truly memorable experience, we recommend a helicopter tour that lands you directly on the glacier itself—an investment, but one that pays dividends in awe.

Beyond the glacier, Juneau is one of Alaska’s premier whale-watching destinations. The nutrient-rich waters of the Inside Passage are a summer feeding ground for humpback whales, and sightings are exceptionally common. For a different perspective, the Mount Roberts Tramway, which departs right from the cruise ship dock, whisks you 1,800 feet up for panoramic views of the Gastineau Channel and the surrounding Tongass National Forest.

The downtown area is compact, historic, and easily explored on foot. While it can be bustling with fellow cruisers, it’s worth a stroll down South Franklin Street to see the preserved architecture. For a dose of culture, the Alaska State Museum offers a superb collection of Native Alaskan and pioneer history. While the famous Red Dog Saloon is a lively and historic stop, for a more authentic taste of Juneau, seek out a local salmon bake. Juneau delivers exactly what you hope for in Alaska: breathtaking scenery and wildlife encounters that feel both grand and accessible.

Skagway, Alaska

Skagway is less a town and more a time capsule, meticulously preserved from the fever dream of the Klondike Gold Rush. As you step off the ship, you’re immediately immersed in its history. The main event is the historic downtown, a district of wooden boardwalks and false-front buildings so authentic it’s part of a National Historical Park. While compact and easily walkable, its charm is genuine. You can spend an hour or two exploring Broadway Street, popping into the Red Onion Saloon for a dose of colorful history, or visiting the Corrington Museum of Alaskan History.

However, to truly appreciate Skagway, you must see it as a gateway. The town itself is the prologue; the main story unfolds in the surrounding wilderness. The undisputed star attraction is the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad. This is not a simple scenic ride; it’s a vintage, narrow-gauge train that climbs nearly 3,000 feet in 20 miles, clinging to mountainsides and crossing dizzying trestles. The engineering is as breathtaking as the views of glaciers, gorges, and waterfalls. We consider this one of Alaska’s essential experiences.

For those seeking more active pursuits, Skagway delivers. Helicopter tours can land you on a glacier for a dog-sledding adventure, offering a perspective few ever witness. You can also hike a portion of the legendary Chilkoot Trail or take a high-speed catamaran down the Lynn Canal, North America's longest and deepest fjord. Our advice: Plan on one major excursion. Skagway’s in-town appeal is real but finite; its true value lies in the spectacular adventures that begin at its doorstep.

Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier

This isn't a port in the traditional sense, but rather a destination in itself—a day dedicated to the profound, humbling beauty of raw Alaska. Your ship will navigate the 30-mile-long Endicott Arm, a fjord carved by immense glacial power. This is a day to find a comfortable spot on deck, perhaps with a warm drink and binoculars, and simply watch the spectacle unfold. Sheer granite cliffs rise thousands of feet from the water, streaked with dozens of waterfalls. As you venture deeper, the water becomes dotted with floating ice—from small, crystalline 'bergy bits' to larger, blue-hued chunks that have broken free from the glacier ahead.

The main event is the Dawes Glacier, an active tidewater glacier that glows with an ethereal blue light. You'll likely hear the glacier before you see its full grandeur—the thunderous crack and roar as it calves, sending ice crashing into the sea. Keep a keen eye out for wildlife; harbor seals often haul themselves onto the floating ice to rest, and you might spot mountain goats on the cliffs or even a bear along the shoreline. Endicott Arm is a purely observational experience, a chance to witness nature on a scale that truly puts things in perspective.

Victoria, British Columbia

Victoria offers a distinctly civilized and manageable port day, a welcome change of pace from more sprawling destinations. Its compact, walkable Inner Harbour is the city’s heart, framed by the grand legislative buildings and the iconic Fairmont Empress hotel. This is where you’ll find the city’s pulse, and it’s an excellent starting point.

For many, the main draw is the world-renowned Butchart Gardens. We'll be direct: it's a masterpiece of horticulture and absolutely worth the visit if you're a passionate gardener. However, be mindful that it requires a significant bus or taxi ride (about 30-40 minutes each way), consuming a fair portion of your day. If you prefer to stay local, you won't be disappointed.

The Royal BC Museum, conveniently located at the Inner Harbour, is one of Canada's best, offering compelling exhibits on both natural and human history that can easily fill a few hours. A short, pleasant walk from the main harbour leads to Fisherman's Wharf, a quirky collection of floating homes and food kiosks where you can enjoy fresh fish and chips while watching seals play. For a dose of Victorian grandeur, Craigdarroch Castle provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of a 19th-century coal baron. Or, simply stroll through the manicured lawns of nearby Beacon Hill Park.

Victoria's strength lies in its quality and accessibility. Whether you opt for a grand garden tour or a simple, elegant walk around the harbour, it delivers a polished and memorable experience without feeling overwhelming.

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.
