ERA Course

The ERA Course

This is a 5-day course for healthcare scientists and medical staff directly involved in performing or overseeing ERA & OAE tests on patients of all ages. It is open to participants internationally though the methods and standards have a UK bias. The course runs from lunchtime on Monday to lunchtime on Friday. The course fee includes tuition, course matierials (printed and electronic), lunch each day and dinner on 3 evenings but no accommodation, which needs to be booked separately.

Course aims:

The ERA course aims to assist prospective auditory electrophysiological testers in their training journey towards clinical competence, by delivering the theory, supplemented with practical sessions, of the more clinically popular ERA tests, their interpretation, limitations and clinical roles.

Course learning outcomes:

At the end of the course, the course participant should be able to:

  1. Describe the clinical role, technical requirements and the stimulus calibration of clinically efficient threshold ABR tests, CM tests, neurological ABR tests, OAE tests, ASSR tests and CAEP tests.
  2. Identify the basis of interpretation, limitations and common errors associated with threshold ABR tests, CM tests, neurological ABR tests, OAE tests, ASSR tests and CAEP tests.
  3. Effectively report the results of threshold ABR tests, CM tests, neurological ABR tests, OAE tests, ASSR tests and CAEP tests.
  4. Identify the post-course further training needed to achieve clinical competence of an auditory electrophysiological tester.
