CLA-5002 Module on Advanced Clinical Assessments
Electro-physiologic Measurements in Audiology
This course will focus on the principles of electrophysiological assessment of auditory
function. Recent advances in the assessment of hearing using auditory evoked responses across all age ranges and various evoked potential measures will be discussed. After successful completion of this course, students will have learned both basic and applied techniques in the measurement and interpretation of the neurophysiological and electrophysiological methods that are currently used to assess auditory function in adults and children.
Introduction to Vestibular Function
This course is designed to introduce students to the vestibular system, related disorders, and basic evaluation techniques. Following an anatomical sequence from the peripheral to central vestibular systems, a few common disorders are reviewed. Coverage of each disorder or disease includes information on prevalence, risk factors, mechanism(s), pathophysiology, medical management, patterns of symptomology. The final segment of the course provides an overview of the bedside evaluations of the Vestibular Ocular Reflex and Vestibular Spinal Reflex, and Videonystagmography overview.
