This multidisciplinary gathering will bring together experts from otolaryngology, audiology, neurology, physical therapy, emergency medicine, and primary care to explore the latest diagnostic and treatment strategies. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the pathophysiology of dizziness, best practices for patient assessment, and innovative rehabilitation techniques. Through interactive sessions, case studies, and panel discussions, participants will enhance their ability to provide effective, integrated care for patients experiencing dizziness and balance disorders. Lunch will be provided.
