The Biennial VA NCRAR Scientific Conference Series

项目总结/摘要 NCRAR将举行下三次两年一度的会议，从“前庭疾病：从病因到治疗”开始， 2021年秋季“治愈”。随后的会议主题暂定为“大流行后的创新， 听力学”和“听力康复的多感官方法”，将根据 该领域的事态发展和与会者对上次会议的反馈。这三天的密集 会议将汇集基础和转化科学家、临床医生、患者和卫生政策制定者 促进对听力和平衡障碍患者的预防、诊断和治疗。我们 假设临床结果将得到改善，如果他们结合了协作，跨专业的临床 方法由病理生理学和患者的观点塑造。与NIDCD一致 根据2017-2021年战略计划，这些会议旨在满足多学科方法的迫切需要， 在以病人为中心的护理模式下，适当地诊断和治疗听觉和前庭缺陷。 2021年会议的目标是加强对机制，诊断和 前庭功能障碍的临床治疗。具体的主题包括细胞再生，老化，头部 创伤，心理物理测试，人工智能指导诊断，基于虚拟现实的康复，以及 前庭植入与患者和专家进行小组讨论， 学生提供了宝贵的交流和建立网络的机会。会议的一个新方面 一个重要的挑战是将患者和决策者等利益相关者纳入临床教学课程。 一个创新的方面是优化案例研究的相关性，以问题为基础的学习课程 通过调查与会者在临床研究和病人护理方面的挑战。最后一次讨论， 讲者和听众将扼要介绍有关临床护理未来研究和发展的建议。 会议将限制在200名与会者，以创造一个亲密的环境，提高开放 通信为学生提供的10个奖学金和为执业临床医生提供的5个奖学金将吸引参与者 来自科学界以外的人，至少有8个奖学金颁发给妇女申请人， 种族/少数民族群体，或有残疾。会议将通过社交媒体进行宣传， 电子邮件和其他专业会议。公告将在NCRAR网站上发布，专业 组织网站，并在专业期刊上发表。会议内容将分发给非 与会者可通过《美国听力学杂志》特刊了解情况，会议演讲将 在NCRAR网站上以优惠价格提供（具有演示者权限）。

Project Summary/Abstract The NCRAR will hold its next three Biennial Conferences starting with “Vestibular Disorders: From Cause to Cure” in fall 2021. Subsequent conference topics are tentatively titled “Post-Pandemic Innovations in Connected Audiology” and “Multi-Sensory Approaches to Auditory Rehabilitation”, to be refined based on developments in the field and participant feedback from the previous conference. These three-day intensive conferences will bring together basic and translational scientists, clinicians, patients, and health policymakers to promote the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of patients with hearing and balance disorders. We hypothesize that clinical outcomes will be improved if they incorporate a collaborative, interprofessional clinical approach shaped by both the pathophysiology and the perspective of the patient. Consistent with the NIDCD's 2017-2021 Strategic Plan, these conferences aim to meet the critical need for multidisciplinary approaches to diagnose and treat auditory and vestibular deficits appropriately within a patient-centered care model. The objectives of the 2021 conference are to enhance knowledge of the mechanisms, diagnosis, and clinical management of vestibular dysfunction. Specific topics include cellular regeneration, aging, head trauma, psychophysical testing, artificial-intelligence guided diagnosis, virtual reality-based rehabilitation, and vestibular implantation. Panel discussions with patients and experts and curated matching of mentors with students provide valuable communication and networking opportunities. A novel aspect of the conference series is the inclusion of stakeholders, such as patients and policymakers, within the clinical teaching sessions. An innovative aspect is to optimize the relevance of the case-study focused problem-based learning sessions by polling attendees regarding their challenges in clinical research and patient care. A closing discussion with the presenters and audience will recap recommendations for future research and developments in clinical care. The conference will be limited to 200 attendees to create an intimate environment enhancing open communication. Ten scholarships provided to students and 5 to practicing clinicians will attract participants from outside the scientific community, with at least 8 scholarships awarded to applicants who are women, part of a racial/ethnic minority group, or have a disability. The conference will be publicized through social media, email and other professional meetings. Announcements will be posted on the NCRAR website, professional organization websites, and published in specialty journals. Conference content will be disseminated to non- attendees via a special issue of the American Journal of Audiology, and the conference presentations will be available at a reduced price on the NCRAR website (with presenter permissions).
