Welcome to 2008 and another great year at Audiology Online. I am what you would call a "half-full" type of guy and I always enjoy the start of a new year. It is a time for me to review what was accomplished last year, and think about what the possibilities are for the next. Thinking about last year, our Associate Editor, David Fabry, Ph.D., recently reviewed that he thought were the biggest audiology news stories of 2007. Agree, disagree? Take a look and tell us what you think.
Questioning Marion Downs
Dr. Fabry will also be conducting a live e-Seminar next week on January 30th.
Words of Wisdom from Marion Downs - A Perspective on Hearing In Children. We are encouraging persons to submit questions in advance to help direct the focus of the event. Interact in advance! Send in your questions to dave@audiologyonline.com
Continuing Your Education
I am also proud to say that in 2007, Audiology Online processed over 36,000 CEU course completions. You read that right, thirty-six thousand. A big thanks to all of you, our members, for helping make this happen. At Audiology Online, we are working hard to provide the best in online information and education for 2008.
