A comprehensive training that will enable the physician to learn the fundamentals of speech therapy intervention in voice disorders”

Speech therapy work offers physicians the complementary pathway they need to comprehensively care for patients with voice disorders. Incorporating this specific knowledge into your skills allows you to provide more comprehensive answers to your patients' voice problems.

The medical professionals intervene in the care of their patients' voice in many contexts and situations. Professionals such as broadcasters, journalists, commercials, actors, singers, etc., require knowledge and management of their speaking apparatus, since its use is essential for their work. In this sense, it is also important to be aware of the multifactorial nature of the voice and its alterations. The changes that occur in the human voice over time are related, among other factors, to the maturation and development of the phonorespiratory system, as well as to its deterioration.

Another type of change is due to sex-related differences. There are also modifications in the voice due to professional use and to structural and functional alterations associated or not with other pathologies. And all of this is evident in both the normal voice and the pathological voice. 
For all these reasons, knowledge about the use of one's own voice, programs for the prevention of disorders, and Vocal Therapy in Medicine applied to the use in different contexts are crucial elements for the health, well-being, and development of any speaker.
