More than 1,600 healthcare professionals have participated in Otometrics VNG/ENG educational course taught by the recognized expert of balance disorders, Kamran Barin during the past 8 years. It has gotten known as the most comprehensive course.
The semi-annual videonystagmography (VNG) and electonystagmography (ENG) course produced by Otometrics saw increased attendance at its October session in Chicago. The attendees included audiologists, neurologists, nurses, physician assistants and medical technicians as well as U.S.-based and international participants.
"We had 80 people attend the three-day course, which is a sharp increase in attendance from the past few courses," said Dan McNulty, general manager of Otometrics North America. "While VNG is not a new procedure, more healthcare providers are introducing it into their practices. Having a live course is vital for working through case studies and honing their interpretation skills and we found that many had brought their colleague in order to share the same knowledge."
Conducted by Kamran Barin, Ph.D., the recognized expert in balance disorders, the course is product-independent and covers VNG/ENG theory, calibration, test procedures, analysis and hands-on demonstrations.
"Most of the attendees had not been to this type of intensive class before but chose to attend for the hands-on experience and the ability to connect with other colleagues. Many attendees had participated in a lecture or an on-line course by Dr. Barin. His experience and reputation were additional drivers for participants to enroll," said McNulty. "The post-class surveys indicated that the participants would not only recommend the course to others but would also attend it again in the future."
