Acoustic Reflex Threshold (ART) Teaching Strategies for Clinical Preceptors

Course: #33109Level: Intermediate 1 Hour 542 Reviews

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.
