From Fluoroscopy to Function: Mastering MBS Interpretation for Clinical Decision-Making

Join Ianessa Humbert, Ph.D., CCC-SLP for a dynamic 2-hour live virtual webinar designed to enhance Speech-Language Pathologists’ skills in interpreting Modified Barium Swallow Studies (MBS). This highly interactive session moves beyond simply identifying abnormalities to focus on determining the primary physiological swallowing impairment driving a patient’s dysphagia.

Participants will learn a systematic approach to analyzing MBS findings and translating those observations into meaningful, patient-centered treatment plans. Through case-based discussions and real-time engagement, Dr. Humbert will guide clinicians in distinguishing when compensatory strategies are most appropriate and when rehabilitative interventions should be prioritized to promote long-term functional improvement.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the primary physiological impairment underlying dysphagia on MBS.
• Differentiate between compensatory and rehabilitative management approaches.
• Apply a structured framework for clinical decision-making based on fluoroscopic findings.
• Enhance confidence and consistency in MBS interpretation through interactive case analysis.

This session is ideal for SLPs seeking to strengthen their diagnostic reasoning and translate instrumental assessment findings into effective, evidence-based treatment strategies. Participants will leave with practical tools that can be immediately implemented in clinical practice.
