The Canadian Dizziness Symposium 

April 13, 2026 

Ottawa, ON | Infinity Convention Centre

Registration & Program Coming Soon!

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Patients presenting with dizziness are challenging, whether this is acute or chronic, in the clinic or the emergency department. Dizzy patients are difficult to diagnose and manage for all clinicians, from primary care to specialists and other allied health professionals. This 1-day symposium will provide participants with a solid foundation of clinical knowledge and skills used to diagnose and treat patients with dizziness through a combination of didactic teaching, case-based learning, and clinical skills workshops. 

OVERALL LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1. Describe a comprehensive approach to clinical diagnosis and management of patients presenting with acute and chronic dizziness

2. Demonstrate key clinical examination techniques—including positional testing, canalith repositioning maneuvers, and the head impulse test—for the diagnosis and management of dizziness, through participation in expert-led, hands-on workshops.
