Course Description: An important part of evidence-based practice is clinical expertise. Yet, many clinicians do not have the tools to gather, interpret, and apply their clinical data to understand trends in patient outcomes and justify clinical decisions. The Swallow Physiology Masterclass with Ianessa Humbert, Ph.D. aims to remedy this! Masterclass Tier 1: Normal Swallow Physiology introduces learners to clinical data collection, focusing on data that can be derived from clinical swallow evaluations and modified barium swallow studies.
Learning Objectives: Upon completion of this course participants will be able to:
- Identify cognitive biases that derail clinical practices from being supported by evidence versus myths and/or unsupported or assumed ideas.
- Differentiate evidence-based practice from theory-based practice.
- Differentiate quantitative versus qualitative data.
- Define the “what”, “how”, and “why” of clinical swallowing assessments
- Differentiate qualitative versus quantitative data in a clinical assessment and in videofluoroscopic images.
-
Assessment of Learning Objectives: Question and answer, course feedback form.
Instructional Methods Used: Lecture, Discussion, PowerPoint presentations
