Bundle 7 includes SPARK Conference + Intro to Vestibular Rehabilitation Certificate Course + Practical Strategies in Vestibular Rehabilitation Certificate Course!

The SPARK Conference:

A virtual conference to spark new ideas when assessing and treating vestibular, vision, cervical, concussion, balance, and gait

SPARK is all about implementing practical strategies that you can put to use tomorrow, learning from peers who are navigating the same challenges, and collaborating with others from around the globe! This event represents a unique opportunity to get clarity, strategies, 1:1 real-time connection while earning CEUs.

Vestibular rehab, vision, cervical, concussion, 3PD, peripheral visual processing, visually induced dizziness, multifactorial balance disorders, MdDS, BPPV, pediatric vestibular dysfunction…and so much more! High-quality education with invaluable bits of information that are designed to be immediately implemented into your practice.

We invite you to submit a proposal to speak at SPARK! Submit your proposal here or secure your spot with this bundle today today! Should your proposal be chosen, consider your ticket fully reimbursed. 

Intro to Vestibular Rehabilitation Certificate Course:

The certificate course includes introductory information regarding vestibular assessment and treatment. The content provides the participant with a strong foundation for continued learning and success for future coursework as a lifelong learner and dedicated practitioner. Learn common vestibular-related terminology along with some of the major fundamental concepts, common diagnoses, and intro to assessment and treatment.

On-Demand Educational Sessions

Include presentations, handouts, and question & answer sessions

• Educational Session 1 - Basic Anatomy and Physiology
• Educational Session 2 - An Overview
• Educational Session 3 - Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
• Educational Session 4 - Peripheral Vestibular System
• Educational Session 5 - Exam & Treatment
• Educational Session 6 - Central Vestibular System
• Educational Session - Case Studies
• Educational Session 8 - Anxiety & Dizziness

Objectives - Upon completing this course, you'll be able to:

• Accurately identify three types of dizziness including mechanical, peripheral, or central
• Assess and treat posterior canal BPPV (mechanical vestibular dysfunction) utilizing the Epley maneuver
• Assess unilateral peripheral vestibular dysfunction and be able to initiate basic vestibular adaptation exercises
• Identify central vestibular dysfunction and understand appropriate treatment strategies

Practical Strategies in Vestibular Rehabilitation Certificate Course:

Gain more insight into developing targeted questions for the intake to create a working and differential diagnosis. Learn the guiding principles of vestibular rehabilitation and how to transition from exam findings to interventions.

This course starts with a discussion on the value of establishing a trusting connection with patients, the importance of establishing an early diagnosis, and the impact of a delayed diagnosis. You gain more insight into developing targeted questions for the intake to create a working and differential diagnosis to aid you in what vestibular and/or bedside tests are indicated. You will also learn the guiding principles of vestibular rehabilitation and how to transition from exam findings to interventions. You will also hear a discussion on age-related vestibular findings and learn the importance of customizing the care plan. The content of this course was primarily designed to provide a foundation for more advanced, Certificate of Competency in Vestibular Rehabilitation (CCVR) Course. The objectives of this course are targeted toward a better understanding of vestibular-related concepts in the preparation of the CCVR coursework and competency-based skills as a more advanced practitioner.

On-Demand Educational Sessions

Include presentations, handouts, and question & answer sessions

• Educational Session 1 - Where Your Patient's Journey Begins
  
• Educational Session 2 - Characteristics of Dizziness, Clues from the History, Symptoms to Clinical Tests, Tests to Treatments
  
• Educational Session 3 - An Intro to Vestibular Diagnostics, A Closer Look at Vestibular Diagnostics
  
• Educational Session 4 - Vertigo Differential Algorithm, Non-Vertiginous Differential Algorithm, Review of Bedside Vestibular Tests
  
• Educational Session 5 - A Historical Perspective, Treatment Principles
  
• Educational Session 6 - A Case Study: The Intake, A Case Study: Vestibular Diagnostics, A Case Study: The Clinical Exam, A Case Study: Assessment & Care Plan

• Identify appropriate bedside tests to identify vestibular dysfunction and balance disorders

• Recognize how objective findings correlate with treatment activities

• Understand age-related changes of the vestibular system and effects on exam findings and treatment outcomes

• Understand guiding principles of vestibular rehabilitation

• Recognize appropriate patient populations of which vestibular rehabilitation is indicated

• Define treatment-related terms and how utilized to obtain desired outcomes

• Recognize the importance of customizing the care plan
