]]> Tue, 16 Apr 2024 17:15:00 GMT Thank You to Bracco Diagnostics, Inc. for Continued Support of Meet the Masters Event https://www.swallowingdisorders.org/news/news.asp?id=670158 https://www.swallowingdisorders.org/news/news.asp?id=670158 For 20 years, Bracco Diagnostics Inc. has been proud to support “Meet the Masters” via an unrestricted educational grant. This educational event, taking place on the evening before the start of the ASHA Convention, has featured many distinguished leaders in our field presenting cutting edge topics in swallowing. This year, we are thrilled that this event will be expanded to include an ADDITIONAL offering, a separate workshop specifically for students and early career clinicians that will also feature an illustrious panel with a focus on advocating for best practice in swallowing. This workshop will offer opportunities for breakout round tables and role play, giving participants a real chance to sharpen their skills with expert guidance. The traditional panel lecture will still take place as well, with luminaries in our field of offering a view into the horizon of swallow practice. We are also so pleased that this event has been renamed to “The Swallow Symposium: Advocating and Innovating” to better reflect this expanded event. This event will be complimentary, as always, and a “can’t miss” for anyone practicing in swallowing and swallowing disorders! Information on how to register will be available soon, stay tuned… and please note that this event is separate from the ASHA convention, and attendees do NOT have to be registered to attend the convention in order to register for one or both of these events.

The series will include two tracks - one for PEDS and one for Adults. Each track will include 4 hours of recorded presentations that attendees will view at their convenience prior to one-hour live Q&A session with all speakers. 

The online pediatric webinars will focus on intervention and will provide in-depth knowledge and practical information for day-to-day clinical use. Focusing on a variety of pediatric populations, these clinical experts will highlight case studies and share therapy solutions to clinically challenging scenarios.  Evidence-based intervention strategies and root cause analysis approaches will be emphasized. Whether you work with breastfed babies struggling to latch, infants with ng-tubes, toddlers expelling table foods, or children with brain injury, this conference is for you!

The online adult webinars will focus on assessment and intervention of dysphagia in adults and will provide in-depth knowledge and practical information for day-to-day clinical use. From technical analysis of instrumental swallowing studies to optimization of dysphagia rehabilitation, this course will offer strategies for the novice and experienced dysphagia clinician to elevate their practice.  Join these expert clinician scientists as they discuss contemporary tools and techniques such as biofeedback driven treatment and cough training.  This is THE course for clinicians looking to find evidence-based strategies to integrate into their clinical practice.

The cost to register for each of the above courses is just $23. Don't wait, register today!
