Pre-Conference Voice Symposium

Saturday, February 24, 2024


Join us Saturday, February 18th, for the pre-conference voice symposium! This pre-conference voice symposium will focus on updates and advances in the evaluation and treatment of voice, upper airway, and swallowing. Attendees will be guided through the evaluation process including taking a comprehensive history, clinical decision making around appropriate diagnostic testing, and how testing guides treatment planning. Therapeutic intervention will be explored related to specific therapy techniques, and the ‘what, when and how’ in clinical practice. Attendees will be able to take clinical pearls from the conference to the clinic.  


Audience: Intermediate level
