Guest: Devin L. McCaslin, Ph.D.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. (@ChutkaMD)

Being dizzy means different things to different patients and most patients find dizziness difficult to describe. Providers find it difficult to evaluate patients with dizziness and also which specialties can be asked for help in managing the dizzy patient. Dr. Devin McCaslin is the Director of the Vestibular and Balance Laboratory at the Mayo Clinic and an expert in evaluating the dizzy patient. He will discuss such topics as the role of vestibular balance laboratory testing in assessing patients, the most common findings from these evaluations, the multi-disciplinary approach to evaluating patients with dizziness, and how artificial intelligence is being used in the evaluation of a patient complaining of dizziness.

Specific Topics Discussed:

• The multi-disciplinary approach to evaluating patients complaining of dizziness.
• Most common findings in the evaluation of a patient with dizziness.
• The role of vestibular balance laboratory testing in assessing patients who are candidates for these tests.
