Gap Education
February 23, 2025 (Sunday) - 7 PM to 9 PM EST / 4 PM to 6 PM PST
Join a legacy of nearly twenty years of critical reasoning through unique case studies with dysphagia experts. Join five board certified specialists in swallowing disorders - four of whom are fellows of the American Speech-Language Hearing Association - with ~150 years of collective experience to explore case studies with videofluoroscopic imaging.
Each case represents challenging medical and/or cultural parameters. Information on differential diagnosis, medical issues, multidisciplinary management and instrumental evaluation findings will be discussed. Presentations will discuss evidenced-based treatment planning and patient-centered care. Audience interaction will be encouraged.

April 20, 2024 - Event feedback
"The information provided was well tailored for medical SLPs and provided excellent integration of research as well as a multi-system assessment/treatment approach in addressing dysphagia for patients in the ICU."
"Excellent preparation of each of the presenters, extensive depth of knowledge in the chosen topic areas, open dialogue, and ease of discussion among all colleagues – presenters and participants."
​
"This was easily the best CE course I have taken all year. I appreciated and learned from all presenters I especially enjoyed the time with the panel! How awesome was it having 5 mentors in one place!"
"I liked how every aspect of caring for a pt was covered including communication with the pt and collaboration between professionals.
