18th Schloss course "Voice and swallowing diagnostics"
Our 18th Schloss Course promises another interactive training weekend with interesting lectures, lots of practical exercises, and joint case discussions on the topics of voice and swallowing. Our speakers come from four different phoniatric institutions in Germany and Switzerland.
The training event, organized annually in spring by XION, will take place in 2026 from March 20 to 22, traditionally at Schloss Lübbenau in the Spreewald.
The 18th Schloss course “Voice and swallowing diagnostics” aims to teach multidimensional and integrative organ and functional diagnostics, which, in addition to the often specific anamnesis of patients with voice and swallowing disorders, takes particular account of the unity of perceptive and instrumental methods.
Our focus on voice diagnostics is based on the 5 pillars of the European Laryngological Society's protocol and we will develop these theoretically and practically and present innovative further developments. The optimization of workflows and documentation will also be considered.
The weekend should enable you to apply your acquired knowledge and skills directly in everyday practice and clinical practice.
For reflection and relaxation, you can look forward to a gentle concert at night in the Lübbenau town church of St Nikolai.
The training event is primarily aimed at medical specialists and trainees in the fields of ENT medicine and phoniatrics/pediatric audiology and is limited to 40 participants. Please register in good time. The 18th Schloss course "Voice and Swallowing Diagnostics" is an advanced training event certified by the LÄK Brandenburg.
Barcode labels are required for registration for all 3 days.
