The course will review cranial nerves along with their function, which are important assessment considerations during a clinical swallowing evaluation.
Learning Outcomes
- After this course, participants will be able to identify the cranial nerves associated with swallow function.
- After this course, participants will be able to identify the muscles innervated by the cranial nerves.
- After this course, participants will be able to identify stages of the swallow with their associated cranial nerve.
- After this course, participants will be able to list disease processes that can contribute to cranial nerve dysfuntion.
- After this course, participants will be able to describe a cranial nerve assessment.

I took this course so I would have a clearer knowledge of the Cranial Nerves. Was just diagnosed with an acoustic schwanoma and wanted to update my knowledge of the cranial nerves. Learned a few pieces of information that I will check out with my neurosurgeon. Thanks for your course presentation. Nice Job!

Like you, I am terrified of cranial nerves mostly because I am not too familiar/comfortable with them so it is my goal to learn more.

Oh my goodness...this course was excellent. I now understand and can integrate this information between patient's oral motor, facial and tongue-taste deficits and which CN is responsible. So exciting and more meaningful to me now.

It probably would have been more relevant to my practice if any of the physicians cared which cranial nerves were affected. I didn't see how knowledge of this area would change the dysphagia program I follow.

She launched into a list of anatomical information with little preamble as to why this would be at all helpful to my practice. The quiz questions were difficult and the answers were hard to find in her notes.

This is the best, most understandable and clinician-friendly resource on cranial nerves I have ever read. I have struggled to remember them even when I know how critical this knowledge is! The study guide that she created for herself and so generously shared as a resource is invaluable.Thank you so much.

The information was presented in a way that was easy to understand, and though there was a ton of information, it did not feel rushed. It is clear that Tiffany Wallace has extensive knowledge, and she does an amazing job providing information and techniques that can immediately be used with patients. So many CE classes provide good information but do not provide functional ways to use what has been taught.
