The seven lectures on Adult and Pediatric Urology will review recent guidelines as well as current advances in the evaluation and management of a number of commonly encountered Adult and Pediatric Urologic Conditions encountered in both Primary Care and Specialty Care offices. A review of recent changes in the guidelines and recommendations in such conditions as undescended testes radiologic and medical management of
urolithiasis, evaluation and management of overactive bladder and the evaluation and management of uncomplicated urinary tract infections in women is essential to ensure that individuals affected by these conditions achieve timely and appropriate treatment to minimize long-term adverse effects.
Primary care providers must be aware of recent advances in the field of Urologic oncology, particularly indications and adverse events associated with newer therapies as well as the role of biomarkers in the various urologic malignancies.
Lastly, pediatric urologic conditions are commonly identified in the primary care office and thus an understanding of commonly encountered pediatric urologic conditions will help primary care providers to determine what children need urgent evaluation and which children may be further evaluated and managed by the primary care provider. The team approach to management of such conditions may optimize, minimize morbidity and cost.
Cardiology: These lectures are intended to provide medical care providers interested in the practice of clinical cardiology, the prevention and mangement of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and lipid management a review of the clinical applicability and evidence-base for the most recent standards of care in diagnosis and therapy.

By coordinating resources amongst mid-level providers, nurses, pharmacists, medical assistants and administrative support staff, the primary care provider can help achieve optimal clinical outcomes for their patients afflicted by cardiovascular diseases. To fulfill this mission, the provider must understand the risks and benefits, costs, clinical pitfalls and limitations of evaluation and treatment strategies advocated by current practice standards and guidelines.

Ports of Call
Venice (Ravenna), Italy - Located on the Adriatic coast in North-East Italy, Ravenna was briefly the capital of the Roman Empire and later the Italian capital of the Byzantine Empire. During this time, incredible mosaics were constructed throughout the city. Described as a symphony of color in Dante's Divine Comedy, Ravenna's well-preserved mosaics are some of the finest remaining in the Western world.
Kotor, Montenegro - Though small, this city is vibrant and shining and its people are happy to share their city with all who come.
At Sea - Cruising - Cruising
Mykonos, Greece - For pure Mediterranean pizzazz, Mykonos can't be beat. Designer boutiques and beautifully bronzed Greek gods and goddesses lie on Mykonos' beaches. And Mykonos' famous five white churches look down on it all in oblivious serenity.
Santorini, Greece - The view from the top of Santorini is breathtaking. The harbor below is said to be the site of the lost city of Atlantis! Visit the ruins of Akrotiri and discover a recently unearthed Minoan town which was extinguished by a volcanic cataclysm in 1500 B.C.
Split, Croatia - The second largest city in Croatia, Split has many attractions but is best known for the many historical landmarks found within and around the walls of Diocletian's Palace and the 1700-year old harbour beneath it. The Old Town which comprises the palace is in a remarkable state of preservation. In addition, the Split-Dalmatia County has numerous museums, old churches and other archeological sites which make it an important cultural attraction. History, culture, scenic countryside and the sunny weather make Split a sought after destination for vacationers and water sports lovers.

Certainly, if you have reason to think that "something might come up" that might force you to cancel, travel protection is worth the cost of the premium. Examples we've seen in the past include ill or frail family members and changes in employment causing relocation.
