Course Description
The purpose of this program is to discuss the current status of diagnosis in the profession and
several other critical issues affecting education and practice. Since 1984 Physical Therapists
have been required to diagnose the patient’s condition. How is this requirement being fulfilled?
Should there be profession accepted labels as is expected from doctors? In 2015 the House of
Delegates passed a motion that movement system diagnoses be developed, but little information
is available about the criteria for the diagnoses and for accomplishing this objective. Similarly,
physical therapists are promoted as movement experts and criteria for such expertise needs to be
clarified. Shirley Sahrmann, PT, PhD, FAPTA, Cory Manton, PT, DPT, and Karen Donahue, PT,
DPT will discuss the topics of diagnosis and movement expertise. Please join us in this
discussion of important perspectives about how the profession can thrive and grow for the next
100 years.

Association for Continuing Dental Education Joint Provider Live Webinar Series

Radiographic Interpretation: Benign or malignant and how to tell the difference

 Date:                    Friday, April 16, 2021

Time:                     10:00 AM CST, 11 AM CST, 8 AM PST

Location:               Zoom

Audience:              Professional Dental Community

Format:                 Lecture

CE Credit:              1.5 credits

Tuition:                  $59

Course Description:

With the adoption of cone beam CT technology, the dental practitioner is required to manage significantly more anatomical information and potentially more knowledge of maxillofacial pathoses than with 2D imaging. A more comprehensive understanding of how to recognize pathoses in CBCT volumes is required to recognize and describe abnormalities. A very significant part of this task is to be able to find and differentiate benign from malignant lesions. This course is designed to prepare the dental practitioner to systematically review a CBCT volume, recognize and categorize signs of abnormalities and how to tell the difference between benign and malignant lesions.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:

1. Know the five principles of radiologic interpretation
2. Be familiar with the language and terminology for radiographic description
3. List the seven radiographic signs for differentiating benign lesions from malignant lesions
4. Be able to differentiate benign from malignant lesions

Course Description:

This course focuses on examination and intervention for individuals with vertigo and disequilibrium from vestibular causes using essential, evidence-based tests and measures. The course highlights management of several vestibular pathologies, including a review of anatomy and discussion of examination and interventions for each vestibular disorder. Specific emphasis of the course will be on the management of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, unilateral peripheral hypofunction, bilateral vestibular hypofunction, and other common vestibular disorders. Case study presentations and hands-on lab components will enhance the learners’ experience. This course is intended for individuals with a general knowledge of vestibular anatomy and physiology, as well as common vestibular disorders.

Course Objectives:

At completion of this course, the participant will be able to:
1. Discuss the differences between normal and abnormal vestibular pathology and how it correlates to clinical examination and interventions.
2. Demonstrate tests and measures that are appropriate for vestibular pathology (peripheral vestibular hypofunction, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, and bilateral vestibular hypofunction), and apply results to create a comprehensive vestibular rehabilitation program.
3. Refine skills needed to create a patient-specific, evidence based rehabilitation program to help people with vestibular pathology optimize their recovery.
