[Dysphagia] Swalowing workshop



New grads can greatly benefit from basic level workshops like this one.
Often the dysphagia classes have to cover a lot of information in one
semester.  Also, a lot of it doesn't really fall into place until you are
practicing.  I took a course like this during my CF year and it was very
beneficial.

Someone recently poste a notice about a swallowing workshop as follows:



This workshop is designed to provide:

--knowledge and hands on experience with radiographic and clinical

techniques for evaluation of swallowing problems in a variety of patients

(including neurological and cancer patients)

--strategies for knowing when and how to implement interventions during

radiographic studies and in therapy

--Guidelines for discontinuing alternate feeding techniques (gastrostomy and

nasogastric)

--observation and participation in evaluation of treatment of patients.
  Extensive review  of video-taped x-ray swallowstudies will be provided.

  I must be missing something but, aren't these the very things that
practicing SLPs are supposed to already know - according to the ASHA
position papers?
