NEW! Upcoming “Barin Course” now to include vHIT theory and hands-on demonstration
Schaumburg, IL. - March 27, 2013 – GN Otometrics, the world leader in hearing and balance diagnostic systems, announced today the dates for its bi-annual VNG/ENG Course. The spring session will be held May 16 - 18; the fall session will be held October 9 - 11. Both sessions will take place at the Allerton Hotel in Chicago. Kamran Barin, Ph.D., a preeminent expert in balance disorders, will return to facilitate the 3-day information-intensive course designed to provide practical information necessary to make the VNG/ENG test an effective part of the diagnostic process. The attendees of this course will be among the first to experience the technology behind the ICS Impulse video head impulse testing (vHIT).
“We are very proud of our long history of developing and conducting leading-edge continuing education courses for healthcare professionals engaged in diagnosing balance disorders,” said Uffe Bjerg, vice president of GN Otometrics. “We are equally proud of our long-standing association with such an academic luminary as Dr. Barin. Over the years, more than 1,800 audiologists, physicians, physical therapists and technicians across the country have attended our VNG/ENG Courses. Our commitment to continuing education is unwavering and we expect to see the number of attendees continue to grow in the coming years.”
Dr. Barin is assistant professor emeritus in the department of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery and department of speech and hearing science, at Ohio State University. This is his twelfth year serving as an educational speaker on balance disorders, in conjunction with GN Otometrics. “I get great satisfaction from working with an industry leader like Otometrics and from teaching the VNG/ENG course,” said Barin. “The course provides extremely practical and up-to-date information that the attendees can immediately put to use with their patients. Together, we’re enriching both the professionals who attend the course and the patients they serve.”
