Janet, in response to your request for member comments on FEES
training, I contribute the following:
I have added to my training towards the use of FEES with the
Crary/Mann course at the University of Florida. It is a fairly intense 24
hours of didactic and hands-on training over three days. Each participant
scoped dummy models first and then at least 5 "normal" human volunteers, as
well as also being a volunteer.
I enrolled in the course after three years of participating in "joint"
nasoendoscopic studies in an acute care setting with the ENT passing the
scope and the SLP cueing the patient to evaluate voicing and introducing
solid and liquid boluses to evaluate swallowing safety--we then document on a
joint report and the physician writes additional comments in the Physician
Progress Note section of the chart.
While their course is excellent, both Michael and Giselle emphacize
that additional practice will be needed for efficacy and proficiency, and
that the quantity of practice may vary with each individual and their
relationship with a preceptor/mentor. These comments dovetail nicely with
similar thoughts expressed by Susan Langmore, whose current ASHA audiotape is
also very informative.
