An Overview of the Development of the Document, “Vestibular Assessment & Management for Canadian Audiologists: A Scoping Review” (2017)

Presented By Janine Verge, AuD, Aud(C) & Erica Zaia, M.Sc., RAUD

The Vestibular Assessment & Management for Canadian Audiologists: A Scoping Review was prepared by a joint committee of audiologists representing both the Canadian Academy of Audiology (CAA) and Speech-Language & Audiology Canada (SAC). The purpose of this scoping review was to create a framework* for audiologists on vestibular diagnostic assessment and management in Canada. The document outlines suggested knowledge requirements and provides direction to help guide practice.

Learning Outcomes

After the webinar, participants will be able to:

  • understand the need for improved vestibular assessment and management in Canada;
  • provide a general overview of common vestibular tests and management strategies; and
  • describe ways to use the scoping review as a framework to improve quality, consistency and accessibility of treatment for patients who have vestibular disorders.

*Note: The scoping review document and accompanying webcast do not represent a formal clinical practice guideline or a standard of practice. A scoping review is a document which summarizes some of the research findings in the literature and some of the commonly used practices. It is not to be used as a regulatory document.
