Join nationally recognized expert Dr. Lori Burkhead Morgan for an in-depth exploration of tracheostomy, mechanical ventilation, and respiratory compromise through the lens of the medical speech-language pathologist. Designed specifically for SLPs, this course connects respiratory anatomy, physiology, and neurophysiology to breathing, coughing, voice, and swallowing, giving you the clinical foundation needed to confidently manage this complex patient population. You’ll also learn to interpret respiratory terminology and medical chart data, understand the purpose of common respiratory equipment, collaborate effectively with respiratory therapists, and develop evidence-based treatment plans that address communication, voice, and swallowing.
By the end of this course, you’ll be prepared to communicate more effectively with physicians, respiratory therapists, and administrators using a shared clinical language, identify the most critical respiratory information in the medical record, and understand the optimal timing for SLP involvement with tracheostomy and ventilator patients. You’ll also gain practical strategies for documenting progress, advocating for earlier intervention, and even leading the development of an interdisciplinary trach and vent team within your facility to improve patient outcomes.
"Dr. Lori Burkhead Morgan's course provided excellent information for the SLP that works with the trach and vent population. The information was presented very clearly and discussed in an easy-to-understand manner. There were many takeaway points throughout the course, and I highly recommend it!"
"Loved the course! Would recommend for any SLP in the medical field, especially those in the acute care settings."
“Dr. Morgan was such a lively and engaging speaker. She really took the time to explain the more complex concepts. The benefit of the live course was that she did a beautiful job of reading the room and identifying when concepts needed further explanation. She is a credible speaker. She is intentional with her communication. Her on-the-job stories lent credibility to her presentation. I found myself quoting her phrasing often.”
“I liked the hands on demonstration of various trachs and the anatomy model, along with the case-study at the end and the conversational nature in which the presenter's questions were addressed.”
“Well presented and laid out for the beginner transitioning from IRF (with no vent patients) to acute care. I feel Dr. Burkhead-Morgan gave me the foundation to step inside a vent pt's room and have the confidence to get through day 1.” - SW
“I highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to expand their knowledge in the medical SLP world. The event was well organized and allowed everyone to interact and critically think with the guest speaker. Looking forward to more courses!”
