Remote Reach: Virtual Videofluoroscopy (VFSS) for Smarter Education of Staff and Students using TIMS Connect
Taught by Emily Barrett Reg. CASLPO S-LP (C) and Melanie Peladeau-Pigeon, M.H.Sc., P.Eng.
Videofluoroscopy (VFSS), one of two instrumental ‘gold standard’ swallowing assessments, can be pivotal in a patient’s journey. Unfortunately, access is limited across many hospitals. This not only impacts patients, but limits student and clinician opportunities for training and competency development, resulting in variable entry-level knowledge. This presentation will examine past literature and share current experience from one hospital on trying to solve these challenges using TIMS Connect.
This course is eligible for 0.1 Intermediate ASHA CEUs/1 PDHs.
Maximizing FEES Studies: The Power of Standardization
Taught by Elizabeth Norberg, MS, CCC-SLP, BCS-S
Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) is a invaluable tool for assessing the upper aerodigestive tract for the recovery of voice and swallow function. Using standardized tools is both important and necessary to ensure objective, high-quality patient care. This course will review the current literature, examine evidence-based practices, and provide clinicians with the essential tools required for maximizing the diagnostic and therapeutic utility of the FEES exam.
This course is eligible for 0.2 Intermediate ASHA CEUs/2 PDHs.
Complimentary 6-Hour FEES Course Coming Soon!
Taught by Selena Reece, MS, CCC-SLP, BCS-S; Aaron Padilla, M.S., CCC-SLP, BCS-S; James Curtis, PhD, CCC-SLP, BCS-S; Paige Darien, MS, CCC-SLP, PhD Candidate; Heather Starmer, PhD CCC-SLP, BCS-S; Stephanie Watts, PhD, CCC-SLP
As the use of FEES continues to expand across clinical settings globally, ongoing education is essential to support evidence-informed practice, consistent implementation, and high standards for quality and patient safety. This free, six-hour advanced course examines contemporary approaches to FEES assessment, interpretation, and program development.
Sessions will explore DIGEST-FEES, the BOLUS Framework, VASES, FEES in the ICU, the integration of FEES into programs with established VFSS services, current considerations related to standards of practice, quality, patient safety, and more. Expert-led presentations will provide clinicians with practical and evidence-informed perspectives that can be applied to the continued development and advancement of FEES services across clinical settings.
Attendees may participate in the full six-hour program or select individual sessions based on their clinical interests, practice needs, and professional development goals.
The full course will be eligible for 0.6 Advanced ASHA CEUs/6 PDHs.
