Associate Professor of Radiology COURSE OVERVIEW AND OBJECTIVES
Auditory and vestibular disorders often share a common pathology and are frequently encountered in all areas of clinical medicine. The clinical evaluation of hearing and balance function will often provide important clues to the correct diagnosis. Many auditory and vestibular disorders share common underlying pathophysiology. Management of disorders affecting these systems has been improved by recent therapeutic advances. This course is intended to enhance the diagnostic and management skills of clinicians who see patients with hearing loss, vertigo and/or disequilibrium.
Unique features of this course include -
* multidisciplinary approach
* hands-on demonstrations of the latest techniques in auditory and vestibular assessment, hearing aid technology and cochlear implants
* Meet-the-Professor sessions for direct interactions with the faculty
The course is offered for physicians (primary care, otolaryngology, neurology), physical therapists, audiologists, vestibular technicians and other health care professionals. Because effective management of patients with hearing impairment, vertigo and imbalance requires a coordinated effort of several different health care specialists, all lectures will be offered to all participants.
