Overview: 
This program is geared toward clinicians who are FEES competent who want to sharpen their scoring and interpretation of FEES exams. A review of technical scoping techniques to achieve optimal view will be covered, and updates in research, protocols, and scoring will be reviewed.  A new model that incorporates scoring and interpretation will be introduced, leading to specific treatment recommendations.  Participants will have an opportunity to sharpen their skills by scoring/interpreting recorded FEES exams with course faculty.  Many case studies will be provided but participants are welcome to bring their own difficult to score/interpret FEES exams for a more personalized group experienced.
