Swallowing Training Education Portal

I learned so much and it has helped me to become a more confident clinician. I am so excited to continue learning!!!! :) Thank you so much!!!

I am the type of student who learns best on my own, especially with videos that I can pause, go back, and replay many times over. I have finished this course and am surprised to say that I do not feel as anxious about the swallowing mechanism content as I previously did. The material is presented in an appealing manner. It is concise and yet manages to provide all of the high-yield information a student needs to begin thinking critically. Thank you so much for all of the hard work you put into this course. I am truly appreciative!

Fabulous course on normal swallowing! Thank you for presenting research in a clear manner and relating research to clinical practice.

Great review of fundamental Anatomy and Phys I haven't thought about since grad school. I will confess that I joined this platform expecting it to be full of Dr. Humbert's engaging personality that you hear on Down the Hatch that make learning through the podcast so enjoyable. This was much more dry and to the point compared to her podcast discussions, but the information that she reviewed was still thorough, and I enjoyed the animations being broken down and labeled to aid in comprehension. ***Addendum: LOVED the section on Presbyphagia! I loved the use of the side by side fluoros where you also highlighted specific things of note (i.e., location of bolus at initiation of hyoid burst, location/presence of penetration, etc.). See these side by side for age, as well as both being healthy/WFL, is extremely helpful! I work in a SNF and don't often get to watch MBS regularly, so I would LOVE more side-bye-side/highlighted videos like this!

This is the type of review I have been craving for years! Slow but effective pace, visual representation and review at the conclusion of each section permits higher retention of the information for me. I am planning on reviewing each one a few more times to solidify the information for use in my clinical practice and documentation. Thank you, thank you thank you!!!

For me, SNAPS could stand for: “Shit Not Adequately Programmed Scholastically” This was extremely helpful for re-learning information and concepts I had once learned in graduate school, but did not retain. This course is broken up well into more digestible amounts of content, and the visual schematics are much more helpful than a static image.

This is a great way for clinicians, new and old, as well as students to learn and/or review basics of normal swallowing. The images,, animations, and VFSS/FEES videos are hugely impactive for thorough understanding and interpreting of individualized functions as well as interrelation of all swallow events.
