The Charleston Pharyngoesophageal Manometry Training Program

April 7 - 8, 2023

This two-day introductory/intermediate program, designed for speech language-pathologists, laryngologists, and otolaryngologists, will consist of didactic sessions to introduce participants to the basics of pharyngoesophageal high-resolution manometry (HRM). Hands-on training experiences and case-based examples will then serve to expand participants’ understanding of the clinical applications of HRM. Both pharyngeal and esophageal examinations will be covered. We will focus on the diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities of HRM as well as protocols for pharyngeal dysphagia patients.
