Supervision CEU Courses

Clinical simulation is a powerful training tool offering opportunities for students to practice key competencies in preparation for direct patient care experiences. Innovative simulation models in audiology supply evidenced-based student learning opportunities which may be used by instructors, clinical educators, preceptors, and entry level employers to evaluate or assess an individual's clinical skill set.

This course aims to describe the components of a preceptor program that is both fulfilling to the preceptor and results in a valuable learning experience for the resident.

This course will look at cases where students had difficulty and how preceptors can use simulation to conduct training and remediation to assist the student in becoming a better clinician. A variety of simulation modalities, methods of assessment and ways to use them will be discussed.

This course will provide information for preceptors, educational coordinators, and audiologists involved in audiology student training. Guidance will be provided for navigating difficult pandemic-related training issues including vaccination status, exposure protocols, and disruption in clinical skill development.

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.

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.

This course will discuss supervision considerations for teaching students counseling skills. This information will help supervisors support students in learning how to integrate person-centered care in practice.

Audiology preceptors who supervise doctoral students during on-campus and off-campus rotations are often faced with students who demonstrate appropriate foundation knowledge of clinical test procedures but without commensurate skill in differential diagnostic skills or self-confidence in clinical application. This course will discuss teaching and learning taxonomy and how it can be applied to clinical learning, using the ART as a model.

The educational journey an AuD student walks through is more than the didactic or clinical rotation exercise. If approached with creative forethought, the educational experience can encompass multiple opportunities for the student to exercise and grow positive personality traits leading to future leadership in audiology.

This course will present 5 topics critical to classroom and clinical teaching in the area of vestibular assessment and rehabilitation. This is a preview to the University of Pittsburgh Teaching Conference being held June 13-15, 2019.
