Carrick Institute – Clinical Applications of Eye Movements

This 25-hour clinical program is a comprehensive overview of the brain and eye movements highlighting hands-on examination and treatment protocols. A mastery of clinical examination procedures to quantify brain function and eye movements is necessary in the treatment of traumatic brain injuries and neurodegenerative diseases. Our participants will be trained to this level of mastery after completion of this course.

What our participants will learn

Examination of brain function
Examination of voluntary and reflexogenic eye movements
Examination of the visual striate cortex
Examination of the medial superior temporal and middle temporal areas
Examination of the frontal cortex
Examination of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
Examination of frontal eye fields
Examination of supplementary high fields
Examination of the superior colliculus
Examination of the Pontine para-medial reticular formation
Development of clinical treatments associated with disorders of the brain

Clinical examinations to quantify saccadic latency, velocity, duration and accuracy

The development of therapeutic treatment interventions

Rubrics to assist in treatment development
How to create a therapeutic practice
How to increase beneficial clinical outcomes

Testimonials:

“Professor Carrick did an amazing job teaching this course. It was loaded with clinical pearls and was highly applicable. I would recommend this for anyone serious about neurology.” Dr. Chris Cohen

“This seminar had it all. By the end of the 3 days my head was spinning but my knowledge base had grown tremendously. The Q-stream has been very good since I started it this week. It has started to solidify some of the important topic discussed over the 3 days. Thank you Dr. Carrick!!!” – Anonymous
