DESCRIPTION: This three-day, in-person course will provide therapists with the foundational information and hands-on practice needed to efficiently evaluate and effectively treat patients with peripheral and central vestibular disorders. Learners will apply frameworks and an understanding of the anatomy of the vestibular system to achieve an intermediate level of clinical decision-making. Emphasis will be placed on evidence-based practice and understanding the physiologic rationale for therapeutic interventions. While working through a series of case studies, learners will have the opportunity to link knowledge to clinical practice. This will enhance the clinician’s ability to evaluate the appropriateness and effectiveness of therapeutic interventions for common vestibular disorders. The course format will be lecture, demonstration with patient videos and workshops.
DATES: March 5–7, 2025.
