Part One is intended as a basic course for practitioners and their staff who are interested in setting up or just beginning a vestibular practice. Advanced practitioners and audiologists should consider attending the intermediate course, Part II.
Once registered for the course, is an admission ticket or any documents needed to sign in?
Once registered for a course, we will send an e-mail confirmation that registration and payment has been received. There's no need to bring any paperwork to sign in on the first day of the course. We will supply the course notebook and handouts upon sign-in.
Do participants take a test as part of the curriculum?
There are no tests given, but an evaluation form is requested upon completion of the course.
