Participants will be guided through a tutorial in common laryngeal pathologies often seen ion the examination, their likely causes and treatments. The course then introduces the clinician to the use of this information to plan therapy with an emphasis on prognosis and expectations. For the clinician who uses this technology, this course will address scope of practice and competency building. Models of collaborative practice will be presented.

Chapters & learning objectives

Common Pathologies of the Vocal Folds, Their Origin, Impact On Voice, and Potential Treatment Options

1. Common Pathologies of the Vocal Folds, Their Origin, Impact On Voice, and Potential Treatment Options

This chapter presents the most often seen pathologies of the vocal folds to acquaint the speech language pathologist with likely scenarios often seen during laryngeal videostroboscopy. While diagnosis of pathology is beyond the scope of practice for the speech language pathologist, familiarity with common pathologies, their origin, impact on the voice and treatment best practices better equips the clinician to effectively engage as a member of the multidisciplinary treatment team.

Laryngeal Videostroboscopy and Planning Voice Therapy

2. Laryngeal Videostroboscopy and Planning Voice Therapy

This chapter will introduce the clinician to using the laryngeal imaging findings in developing treatment plans for patients with voice and airway disorders.

Understanding Scope Of Practice, Competency, and Developing Relationships With Your Referring Physicians

3. Understanding Scope Of Practice, Competency, and Developing Relationships With Your Referring Physicians

This chapter is meant for those who actually perform laryngeal videostroboscopy to better understand current scope of practice and develop competency in both rigid and flexible laryngoscopy. Time will be spent assisting the clinician with methods to increase collaboration with referring physicians and models of collaborative practice.
