Course description
This 16 hour foundational/intermediate level course is intended for health care practitioners who see patients experiencing dizziness and/or unsteadiness.
The course utilizes 4 hours of pre-recorded lessons in combination with 12 hours of in-person lessons, hands on lab components, and a live patient demonstration to cover:
– BPPV and how to treat all the canals.
– Vestibular hypofunction.
– Vestibular migraines.

And more.
By the end of this course you should be able to:
1. Explain in lay terms the anatomy and physiology of the vestibular system.
2. Perform a vestibular assessment, interpret the findings and identify those who will respond to vestibular therapy and those who need further investigation.
3. Develop and implement a treatment plan for those who will benefit from vestibular therapy.
4. Understand the expectations for treatment, outcome, and timeframes.
Bottom line: Our goal is that you experience a transition to feeling confident in your skillset and improved outcomes with this patient population.
We want you to look forward to seeing your next patient with dizziness the Monday after the course.
