Confidently diagnose acute dizziness.

Learn the skills needed to perform an effective bedside evaluation of sudden onset vertigo.

Dizziness accounts for 2.1-3.6% of emergency department (ED) visits per year.
 

The misdiagnosis rate of peripheral vestibular disorders in the ED is approximately 74-81%.
