Study Modules

Conference and Anatomy and Physiology Modules

Conferencestudy modules are based on past BSC conference sessions and require viewing of the videotaped session.  Pages from the conference syllabus that correspond with the lecture, and a series of test questions are also included.  In order to receive continuing education credit, the student must view the presentation and answer the test questions with a minimum score of 70%.  CEUs and CERPs are available only to those who did not attend the conference session.  The complete conference syllabus may also be purchased while quantities last.

Great for groups!

Lynn Wolf, MOT, OTR/L and Robin Glass, MS, OTR/L—1997 Nashville Conference
Approaches assessment and treatment of feeding problems through an understanding of infant feeding as a complex process built on the foundation skills of sucking, swallowing and breathing. Part 1 focuses on sucking and swallowing.  Part 2 focuses on the role of respiration in the infant feeding process and on the coordination of sucking, swallowing and breathing during feeding.  Pathophysiology and evaluation techniques are discussed as well as clinical application of treatment strategies for breastfeeding.

Module 5643 - Dental Caries & Tight Frenulums
Brian Palmer, DDS—1998 Scottsdale Conference

Module 5645 - How Bottle Feeding and Infant Habits Impact the Development of the Oral Cavity, Airway and Facial Form
Brian Palmer, DDS—1998 Scottsdale Conference
Are breastfed babies really prettier?  Learn why children who are not breastfed have the potential for more health and dental problems and are candidates to be snorers or have obstructive sleep apnea.

Module 5647 - Reducing the Risk of SIDS: The Importance of Close Contact
Peter Fleming, FRCP, PhD—1999 Atlanta Conference
A recent study of 500,000 births, together with a matched control population of live infants, investigated the importance of a large number of epidemiological factors in the deaths. This session explores these factors which include many aspects of childcare including feeding, place of sleep, and socioeconomic variables.

Module 7780 — Human Anatomy and Physiology Self Study Module

• Review basic anatomy and physiology
• Increase your understanding of maternal and infant anatomy
• Enhance your performance on the IBLCE exam

This study module follows a series of lectures which focus on the structure and function of the human body.  The lectures are grouped into nine body systems—cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, digestive, endocrine, urinary, reproductive, musculoskeletal, and immune.  Each lecture within the body system concentrates on a particular organ or organ system.  This is then followed by an examination of the physiology of that organ.  To make connections even more meaningful, common clinical problems that occur when something goes wrong are discussed.  Finally each body system includes a special section that deals solely with the maternal-child aspects of that body system.

The module contains eight video tapes and a 300-page program guide with detailed outlines and test questions.  Each unit concentrates on a particular body system.  A detailed outline helps the student follow a videotaped lecture by Anthony Goodman MD, FACS from Bozeman MT.  Progress through the various body systems in a logical manner that enhances your learning and retention.  Answer study questions that follow each unit and send your work to your own personal instructor.  You will receive detailed feedback along with helpful suggestions.  The Anatomy and Physiology Self Study Module does not carry any continuing education credit.  It is exclusively for self study.  If you wish to receive continuing education credit, you can enroll in Introduction to Human Anatomy and Physiology.  Receive 8 videotapes, program guide, and test questions.
