This month, I'd like to extend a great big thank you to Contributing Editor Dr. Gus Mueller for another fantastic year of 20Q. In 2014, the engaging and popular CEU article series, 20Q with Gus Mueller, has covered a broad range of topics including infant assessment, middle ear implants, OAEs, real ear measures, hearing aid research, and more. More than 3,000 CEUs were earned so far just from the 2014 collection, and the reviews are consistently outstanding. Thank you, Gus, for all your work on this series that brings top names to AudiologyOnline for thoughtful and entertaining discussions about relevant clinical matters. And thanks to 20Q author Dr. Brad Stach for this photo to support my premise that there is an association between hula hooping skills and IQ.
Business Essentials for the New Millenium
In January, we're partnering with the Academy of Doctors of Audiology (ADA), to bring you audiology business leaders to discuss proven, practical methods for achieving success in a time of unprecedented change for the profession. A stagnating economy, new disruptive market forces, and increased competition are only a few of the current challenges for practices. These courses are a must see for audiologists interested in strategically adapting and succeeding with a private practice in today's market. View the course listings and register here.
The Nuts and Bolts of Unbundling
Dr. Kim Cavitt |
As part of our January program, we're featuring a week-long virtual conference on the topic of unbundling, or a fee-for-service approach to pricing. ADA President Dr. Kim Cavitt has assembled a group of audiologists from a variety of practice settings to discuss the whys and hows of unbundling. These practitioners have had success using this model and will share their experiences and tips. Register here.
Joys of the Season
From everyone here at AudiologyOnline, we wish you a happy and healthy holiday season and all the best for 2015.
