Abstract:
The transition to the AuD was prodigious, yet there is much work to be done if the profession is to meet the challenges of a growing population of individuals with hearing and balance disorders. Audiologists envision a future that expands the role we will have in diagnosing, managing and treating individuals with hearing and balance disorders and how the profession can help create efficiencies in our healthcare system. While there are many issues to be considered to support this vision, transforming the Au.D. curriculum will be foundational. This session will focus on the curricula needed to support our envisioned future.

Learning Objectives:

Outline the vision for the profession of audiology.
Discuss methods for audiology to create efficiency in our audiology services and the overall healthcare system.
Identify curricula needed to support the envisioned future for the profession
