From February 8-11, the Interacoustics Academy will hold an online learning event dedicated to vestibular assessment.
Over four consecutive days, Dr Kamran Barin will take attendees through vestibular topics highlighting the methodology, clinical pitfalls, and interpretation of some of the most common tests performed when assessing patients with balance disorders.
About Dr Kamran Barin, PhD:
Dr Barin established Ohio State University’s Balance Disorders Clinic and was its director until his retirement in June 2011. He is a Doctor of Electrical and Biomedical Engineering, having graduated from OSU.
The course is organized and run by the Interacoustics Academy. Registration to the event is free of charge. Each course has been assigned 0.2 CEUs from the American Academy of Audiology (AAA). According to the Interacoustics Academy, you may attend as many courses as you like, but each course requires a separate registration so CEU points can be properly awarded.
