Overview

Training and Interpretation of FEES in Adults (3 DVDs and 1 CD) emanates from the author's self-developed and proven program for training Speech-Language Pathologists in the use of FEES. Comprehensive and eminently clear and concise, it comprises three DVDs of video lectures that give practicing clinicians a solid foundation on the use of flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing. Clinicians are guided through didactic lectures and actual FEES exams to aid in the diagnosis of swallowing problems as seen through endoscopy. A review of laryngeal anomalies that may be encountered during the endoscopic examination rounds out this comprehensive program. Throughout, the multidisciplinary management of swallowing is highlighted. The package includes a CD with a FEES documentation template, completed FEES documentation forms for exams featured on the DVDs, a scope passing and FEES competency checklist, and additional resources in addition to the three training DVDs.Ideally suited to training and competency development for medical Speech-Language Pathologists, this product can also be easily integrated into graduate teaching in dysphagia courses and for training Otolaryngology residents interested in learning how to perform and interpret FEES exams.
