What is MDTP:
MDTP is a systematic exercise-based approach to dysphagia therapy in adults. Rather than a specific technique, MDTP is a framework from which to provide individualized therapy to adult patients. This one-day intermediate course introduces participants to the conceptual basis of MDTP, provides the results of initial clinical studies documenting functional and physiologic benefits from MDTP intervention, describes in detail the components of MDTP, and provides step by step instruction for the evaluation and treatment of patients receiving the MDTP approach.
What does registration to an MDTP seminar cover?
Registration to an MDTP seminar covers attendance at the seminar (approximately 8.5 hours of
instruction plus a question/answer session at the conclusion of the seminar), seminar materials as a single download from our website ( PDF of course presentation slides and MDTP manual – a link is provided via email the week before the seminar), CEU processing if the seminar is within the USA, access to the MDTP certification post-test and provider certificate upon passing the post-test, listing in the global MDTP provider data base (a search engine that lists all current MDTP providers and is ‘searchable’ by other providers and the public at large), and a unique MDTP provider number that may be used for discounts of future FDI offerings (and possibly other offerings), and future MDTP/FDI functions (web forum and more).
Please note: When you download your course materials please store the cyber files in a safe and convenient location. You can print these files, but you are not authorized to share them. Due to the cost of providing additional online/download materials we do not offer replacement or additional materials upon request.
