[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.

Subject: [Dysphagia] Swalowing workshop
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?
