Thomas Murry, Ph.D., professor, department of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery and co-director of Loma Linda University (LLU) Voice and Swallowing Center will be a principal speaker at the World Voice Day Conference in Mexico City April 16-18. World Voice Day is a worldwide yearly celebration of the importance of the voice that takes place every April 16. World Voice Day celebrates the significance of the voice in everyday life. “We take the voice for granted,” Murry said. “World Voice Day is important not just to those in the medical field, but to everybody. We use our voices for communication every day and what good is that voice if it isn’t healthy?” Murry will join an international faculty in Mexico City for the three-day conference. He will be presenting on two areas of his current research on the newest techniques for examining the vocal folds in the office setting – the application of high-speed video to diagnose voice disorders and neurological changes that cause chronic cough. Areas of Murry’s research also involve Brianna Crawley, MD, an otolarynologist at LLU Voice and Swallow Center. “At Loma Linda University Voice and Swallow Center we have one the best qualified teams in all of Southern California to treat voice disorders,” Murry said. Of the event in Mexico City, Murry is eager to hear what new things are being talked about. “I’m hoping to bring information and knowledge back with me to share with my team so we can continue to provide the best of care to our patients.” Murry has been involved with World Voice Day since the inaugural event in 1999. The conference focuses on all aspects of the voice and welcomes individuals of many backgrounds. The event welcomes teachers of singing, speech and language pathologists, language coaches, musicians, psychologists and many other professions from around the world. While there are numerous celebrations around the world that take place on World Voice Day, the Mexico City event is the only three-day conference. World Voice Day began in1999 through the efforts of Dr. Mario André from Portugal, American and European otolaryngologists (ENT doctors), particularly the American Academy of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) and speech and language pathologists from around the world. Murry also hopes to bring the World Voice Day celebration to Loma Linda University Health in the near future. For more information on the event, visit www.world-voice-day.org.
