HYBRID Workshop Vestibular Assessment & Management Certification (Dec 02, 2026)

HYBRID Workshop Vestibular Assessment & Management Certification is organized by The American Institute of Balance (AIB) and will be held on Dec 02, 2026 at American Institute of Balance, Largo, Florida, United States of America.

Description:
This is a comprehensive Vestibular Assessment & Management Certification Course.
 This 36.5-hour combined course is AIB’s most complete program for clinicians seeking expertise in both vestibular diagnostics and patient management. The program begins with 12 hours of self-paced online learning, providing a strong foundation in evidence-based protocols, clinical decision-making, and vestibular assessment strategies. Participants then advance to the three-day, 24.5-hour live hands-on course, designed to translate theory into practical skills for real-world clinical application. The 3-day live component is offered at AIB headquarters in Largo, Florida.

The live component is structured for maximum impact: the first two days focus on Vestibular Assessment, covering Video Nystagmography (VNG), Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMP), Video Head Impulse Test (vHIT), and Rotary Chair testing, including protocol development, case studies, and best practices for efficient, cost-effective patient evaluation. The third day emphasizes Vestibular Management, with hands-on training in bedside evaluation, BPPV treatment, and vestibular rehabilitation techniques. Through this comprehensive approach, clinicians gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence to deliver gold-standard vestibular care, optimizing outcomes for patients with chronic dizziness and vestibular disorders.

Vestibular Assessment and Management is AIB’s most comprehensive program, providing a complete approach to the management of the dizzy patient from both a diagnostic and rehabilitation perspective. This 36.5-hour course combines 12 hours of self-paced online learning with a three-day, 24.5-hour live, hands-on clinical training. The first two days of the live course focus on vestibular diagnostics, including the full vestibular test battery and evidence-based assessment strategies, while the third day (7.5 hours) emphasizes bedside evaluation, vestibular rehabilitation protocols, and the evaluation and treatment of BPPV through a combination of lecture and hands-on lab training. Participants will gain the skills necessary to efficiently assess and manage vestibular disorders, applying evidence-based protocols and strategies to provide a more productive and effective approach to care for the chronic dizzy patient.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe the specifics and respective applications of the VNG, VHIT, VEMP, and Rotary Chair.
• Recognize the preferred examination administration and protocols of each test
• Compare the relative practical value of each test within a diagnostic efficiency and predictive value format.
• List the most effective and evidence-based management strategies based on test findings, including writing an accurate and concise Medical Report.
• Describe peripheral and central vestibular anatomy and physiology
• Explain the concept of central compensation and those factors affecting it
• Name the most common otologic and non-otologic conditions which may cause dizziness, vertigo, and imbalance
• Demonstrate the most sensitive bedside/clinical evaluation protocols which identify candidates for treatment and proper triage and management
• Differentiate vestibular test abnormalities that identify patients who are “appropriate” candidates for therapy.
• Use diagnosis-based strategies for designing and implementing a comprehensive vestibular rehabilitation program.
• Apply specific therapy protocols within individualized programs for patients.
• Select and perform the appropriate Canalith Repositioning Maneuvers for all forms of BPPV.
• Describe the relationship of the cervical spine in the management of the “dizzy” patient.
