The Hudson Valley and the Catskill
Mountains are in a state of accelerated
renewal. Considering most of the places
listed are within 2 hours of NYC and
work with most any budget, you will
have no excuse but to pamper yourself.
Whether you go by car, take the Metro
North railroad, or hop on your Harley,
you will find so much to do so close to
home.
In today’s stressful times, it is good to
know you can get away, if even for the
day, to enjoy the splendor of the seasons.
Fall is my favorite time of year upstate
New York. Watching the leaves change,
picking a pumpkin or an apple..in the “big
apple” Nothing like it!

Emporiatrics or Travel Medicine is
a discipline within medicine that
prepares a traveler using vaccines,
medicines and knowledge to avoid
disease when visiting a foreign
destination. I will discuss the
current mapping of interventions
offered to patients planning trips
and illustrate with examples how
the constraints of patient needs and
the risks at a specific destination overlap to arrive at a list of recommendations
that are offered a traveler before departure.
Depending on crowd size I can run through personal case examples for those
who are planning an exotic trip. I hope to also highlight limitations of the
practice of emporiatrics and suggest where Google can potentially offer a useful
"expert system" that might be modulated by risk, price points and insurance
coverage using disease maps from publicly available surveillance data and
patient records, using the Kaiser Epic Data system.
Speaker: D. Scott Smith. Scott grew up in Boulder Colorado and attended
medical school at the University of Colorado. He went to public health school at
Harvard University where an interest in Tropical Public Health was further
developed, leading to a year long adventure on a Fulbright scholarship in Cali,
Colombia, seeking improved diagnostic technologies to understand the
epidemiology of leishmaniasis, and onchocerciasis (River Blindness). He
completed residency then a Fellowship at Stanford University in Medicine then
Infectious Disease & Geographic Medicine.
Scott practices at Kaiser in Redwood City, California where he heads the
HIV/AIDS clinic and oversees the travel medicine services locally but also is
developing regionalization of the Travel Medicine Services for Kaiser Northern
California. He co-chairs the biennial National Conference on Preparing
International Travelers. He teaches at Stanford Medical School in the
Microbiology and Immunology Division and directs a course for undergraduates
in Human Biology entitled "Parasites & Pestilence: Public Health Challenges". He
was recently presented the Bloomfield award in recognition of excellence in the
teaching of clinical medicine at Stanford School of Medicine.
Acknowledging Candid's epiphany (after tumultuous world travel) that staying
in one's own backyard is a pathway to happiness, in his spare time he gardens
and keeps chickens and bees. As one's own content is not a final destination, he
recently traveled with family to Uganda and South Africa to speak and visit an
AIDS study site and to see family later this year.

Known as a signature hotel of the
Borgata, The Water Club in Atlantic
City, NJ is a full service spa style hotel.
There is no casino in the hotel, however
you can easily walk through the “hall of
shops” to get to the Borgata casino,
without ever going outside.
With 800 guest rooms and 43 floors, the
Water Club’s cosmopolitan and spa
designs gives you a sense of instant
gratification and constant pampering!
Just the name of the Spa- “Immersion,”
evokes a feeling of detoxification and
total wellness.

The Hudson Valley is in a state of accelerated renewal. Considering most
of this pristine region is within a few hours of NYC and will work with
most any budget, you will have no excuse but to pamper yourself! Whether
you go by Metro North railroad (www.mta.info/mnr), and/or hop on your
bike when you arrive, you will find so much to do so close to home. For a
day trip or a weekend getaway, the Hudson Valley is the place to be!
In today’s stressful times, it is good to know you can get away, if even for
the day, to enjoy the splendor of the seasons.
Spring is my favorite time of year upstate New York. Watching the leaves
change, picking a flower or an apple..IN the “big apple?” Nothing like it!
