Overview:
This program is an intermediate level course geared toward clinicians who are experienced in performing and interpreting FEES, and who want to sharpen their scoring and interpretation of FEES exams. A brief review of technical scoping techniques to achieve optimal view will be covered, and updates in research, protocols, and scoring related to the Langmore FEES protocol will be reviewed. Participants will have ample opportunity to sharpen their skills by scoring and interpreting recorded FEES exams with course faculty. Many case studies will be provided but participants are encouraged to bring their own difficult to score/interpret FEES exams for a more personalized group experienced. It will be an interactive course.
