MA, CCC-SLP, BCS-S
Jen Raminick graduated from California State University, Long Beach, and has been a speech-language pathologist at a pediatric acute care hospital for more than eight years. She has earned her board-certified specialist accreditation in swallowing and has multiple leadership roles in the hospital, including chair of the clinical practice committee to guide patient care. She has mentored graduate students and fellow therapists, with an emphasis on modified barium swallow studies (MBSS) and acute inpatient competency. She has led a committee to implement the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI), providing guidance and education to multiple departments throughout the hospital. She has also worked on a team to write a grant for fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) equipment and is working to develop a comprehensive FEES program. She has been both a national and regional speaker, presenting at the California and American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's annual conventions, covering topics such as feeding on high-flow nasal cannula and implementing the IDDSI framework.

Video Runtime: 45 Minutes; Learning Assessment Time: 36 Minutes
This course aims to fill the knowledge gaps in pediatric dysphagia coursework by delving into the intricate relationship between pediatric lung development, anatomy and physiology of the pediatric respiratory system, and airway protective mechanisms in the context of dysphagia and aspiration. Clinicians will study the anatomical and physiological aspects of the pediatric airway, the respiratory system, and the developmental changes that occur from infancy to childhood. Clinicians taking this course will acquire a comprehensive understanding of how these factors relate to dysphagia and aspiration in pediatric patients. The goal is for clinicians to be well-prepared to assess and address the specific challenges faced by children and infants with dysphagia.
