This course addresses infection control precautions both broadly and as related to COVID-19. It discusses how to select personal protective equipment, hand hygiene products, and disinfectants that are appropriate for hearing healthcare settings, as well as how to properly implement these and other infection control measures.

This course is presented by faculty and AuD students at The Ohio State University. Five challenging pediatric cases that incorporate current evidence and perspectives of patient care will be discussed. Each case provides “take-home” messages to incorporate into clinical practice.

Presenters from the Audiology program at the University of South Dakota provide specific, real-world cases exemplifying considerations, benefits and limitations of various means of service-provision aimed to support the population of a rural/frontier state.

This course is intended for audiology clinical externship coordinators, current externship supervisors, and those considering becoming a supervisor. The intent is to share strategies that make placements successful as well as ways to work through challenges from both a coordinator and supervisor perspective.

When you’re busy in the clinic and can’t seem to get even the most mundane of tasks done, it seems like a “catch 22” to hire yet another person, then have to train them from scratch. But, the Audiology Assistant truly is the key to practice efficiency. In this course, you learn how to put together a plan to create a job description and training regimen for an Audiology Assistant that creates efficiency in your practice both quickly and easily.

Audiologists who use a smartphone for work-related email, calls, scheduling, or social media introduce potential risks to their business and patients. Learn about the importance of smartphone security and hands-on steps to secure mobile devices.

This presentation will review the benefits of simulation-based education in audiology training programs. The unique benefits of computer-based simulations will be presented and strategies for integrating computer-based simulations into an audiology curriculum will be discussed. Guidelines for providing supervision and earning clinical hours will be provided. A methodology for pre-briefing and debriefing computer-based simulations will be explained. Tools for evaluating outcomes and assessing participants' overall satisfaction with the debrief session will be discussed.

In this two-part series, attendees will be introduced to the concept of health economics, and its importance in determining how to improve health outcomes and lifestyle patterns through interactions among individuals, providers, and clinical settings.

This course outlines the evidence-based principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). It explores the components of CBT for tinnitus and the way in which these strategies can be delivered.

When an audiologist states they are providing ‘Best Practices’, what are the standards, or the foundation, that helps to define best practices? This course will explain the importance of having practice standards for audiology, and what we are doing to create, publish, and maintain them.
