Are you looking for new inspiration or ways to upgrade your qualifications in audiology and balance? Find your next course below and see where you can meet us in 2021.
Vestibular Assessment Course by Dr Kamran Barin
Across 4 consecutive days, Dr Barin will take you through vestibular topics highlighting the methodology, clinical pitfalls and interpretation of some the most common tests performed when assessing patients with balance disorders.
This is a course organised and run by the Interacoustics Academy. Registration to this is free of charge. Each course has been assigned 0.2 CEU's from the American Academy of Audiology. You can attend as many courses as you like but each course requires a separate registration so CEU points can be properly awarded.
