Origins of this evolution stem, in part, from the recent proliferation of disruptive innovations (e.g., OTCs/PSAPs, pharmaceuticals), along with changes in population dynamics. This course provides participants with evidence and hands-on tools that promote opportunities for increased audiology awareness, and increased adoption of services and technologies in this changing market landscape.
