FEES is well established as an instrumental tool for both the evaluation and treatment of swallowing difficulty.  In contrast to videofluoroscopy, FEES does not involve radiation exposure and can be used as a biofeedback tool during rehabilitation.

This course presents a unique opportunity to focus on both the interpretation of FEES examinations and the formulation of treatment plans for patients with swallowing difficulty arising from a variety of aetiologies.  This course also includes an additional optional workshop for those who wish to learn how to pass a nasendoscope for the purposes of FEES.
