Description
Presented by Justine Dallas-York, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, BCS-S
AUDIENCE: Undergraduate, graduate students, Clinical Fellows, experienced clinicians, clinicians who work in the intensive care unit (ICU).
Are you interested in optimizing swallow and cough care for your patients in the cardiothoracic intensive care units? Join us for a webinar that will provide a data-driven look at upper aerodigestive tract disorders in patients recovering from cardiothoracic surgery, with a strong emphasis on those recovering from cardiac surgery. Participants will gain practical, real-world clinical tools to leverage the latest research findings and enhance their clinical practice in this specialized area.
Learning Objectives: As it pertains to clinical care for cardiothoracic surgery patients, participants will be able to:
1) Recall rates and risk factors of dysphagia and dystussia,
2) Discuss mechanism underlying swallow and cough impairments, and
3) Describe strategies to apply research findings to enhance clinical care for individuals with dysphagia and/or dystussia after cardiothoracic surgery.
This webinar is approximately 60 minutes in length. This is a recording of a live webinar.
This webinar is offered for Professional Development Hours (PDHs), previously Certification Maintenance Hours (CMHs). For more info: https://www.asha.org/certification/factdef/.
Certificate of completion available upon request once completed.

Justine Dallal-York, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, BCS-S is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Laboratory for the Study of Upper Airway Dysfunction at Teachers College, Columbia University. She completed her PhD in Rehabilitation Science with a concentration in Neuromuscular Plasticity at the University of Florida and her master’s degree in Biobehavioral Science, Speech-Language Pathology at Teachers College, Columbia University. Building on over a decade of clinical experience in otolaryngology and acute care settings, Jusine’s research examines how multiple organ systems across the aerodigestive axis impact airway protection in medically complex populations and implications for advancing treatment.
