Abstract: This intensive three-hour crash course provides a high-impact review of vestibular science and clinical application designed for those that are interested in refreshing their vestibular knowledge. The session combines focused didactic content with interactive case studies and rapid-fire knowledge checks. Participants will review anatomy, physiology, and core vestibular assessments, apply knowledge to real-world patient scenarios, and engage in collaborative problem-solving to reinforce clinical decision-making. By integrating evidence-based review with active learning, this program ensures participants leave with increased confidence and readiness for seeing vestibular patients.

Learning Objectives:

  • Upon completion, participants will be able to interpret basic test results to determine site of lesion.
  • Upon completion, participants will be able to integrate clinical data to determine appropriate diagnostic and management strategies.
  • Upon completion, participants will be able to describe abnormal findings for vestibular diagnostic testing.
