The Airway: The View from the SLP Perspective
Presented by Eric Blicker CCC-SLP.D, BCS-S
Registration Fee: $197 for Speech-Language Pathologists
COURSE AVAILABLE NOVEMBER 1, 2021 to NOVEMBER 1, 2026
Course Description:
MedSLP Education is excited to host Dr. Blicker during this eight-hour interactive case-based learning course designed to teach foundational knowledge about the airway related to the speech-language pathologist. Dr. Blicker will share his extensive knowledge of anatomy through the lens of trans-nasal endoscopy. After completing this course, participants will be able to accurately identify relevant anatomy in the nasal cavity, pharynx, and larynx, as well as identify common anatomical variants in this region through the use of transnasal endoscopy. This course will also include the following topics to enhance the learning experience: intubation trauma, reflux, head and neck cancer, and tracheostomy, including speech-language pathologist's role.
After this course, you will be able to…
- Learners will describe relevant anatomy in the nasal cavity, pharynx, and larynx.
- Learners will identify common anatomical variants in the nasal cavity, pharynx, and larynx.
- Learners will identify structural anomalies that may be viewed during trans-nasal endoscopy.
