Course description
This recorded MBS Bootcamp offers experiential learning designed to prepare SLPs for real-world clinical environments through recorded Modified Barium Swallow Studies. Participants view and interpret two recorded MBS studies with specific emphasis on incorporating anatomy and physiology into clinical decision-making.
In the recording, Dr. Ianessa Humbert explains how to operate and lead MBS studies, including providing instruction to radiological technologists and patients when trialing various textures, postures, and maneuvers. The workshop demonstrates patient education and counseling in easy-to-understand language.
