The course is co-sponsored by the Duke University DPT Program and the APTA. \nThe course will run March 9 – 14\, 2026\, and will be held at the Emory Conference Center and Hotel. \nThis intense\, evidence-based\, six-day course is designed for physical therapists\, occupational therapists and MDs with experience treating patients/clients with vestibular deficits. The course consists of lecture and laboratory sessions with additional self-study sessions. All participants will be expected to demonstrate a variety of skills to the faculty including 1) the oculomotor examination with emphasis on the identification of nystagmus and canal involvement\, 2) balance\, gait\, fall risk and functional assessments\, 3) appropriate treatment procedures for BPPV affecting posterior\, anterior and horizontal canals for both cupulolithiasis and canalithiasis\, 4) treatment procedures for unilateral and bilateral peripheral vestibular disorders\, and 5) treatment procedures for central vestibular disorders including traumatic brain injury\, concussion and stroke.
