Interdisciplinary Case-Based Dysphagia Management

Catalog description

Through the use of case studies, student-led discussions and learning exercises, students work as a team to review and critique assessment and management practices for individuals with swallowing impairments and compromised nutrition and hydration. Students examine discipline-specific and person-centered standards of care, problem-solving approaches to ethical decision-making and case management, and skill sets central to competent health care. Students also participate in an interactive testing and cooking lab as a culminating experience.
