PITTSBURGH, April 2, 2015—Educators and clinical instructors will gather on June 11 – 13, 2015 for the sixth biennial CSD Teaching Conference at the University of Pittsburgh. This year’s focus will address the art and science of teaching amplification. Teaching amplification was the subject of the inaugural University of Pittsburgh Audiology Teaching Conference in 2005 and the time has come again to address this important topic.
The Audiology Teaching Conference - “Teaching Amplification – 10 Years Later” will be chaired by Catherine Palmer, PhD. The goal of the conference is to provide audiology faculty and clinical instructors an opportunity to discuss best practices in teaching the topic of amplification. Conference faculty includes: keynote speaker David Hawkins, PhD; Ruth Bentler, PhD; Susan Scollie, PhD; Linda Thibodeau, PhD; Todd Ricketts, PhD; Catherine Palmer, PhD; Elaine Mormer, PhD; Jenifer Fruit, AuD; Lori Zitelli, AuD. These nationally recognized educators will share examples of course/clinical handouts, practicum strategies, reference lists, take-home assignments, lab exercises, practical exams, and more. Break-out sessions and poster sessions will give participants an opportunity to share clinical teaching ideas with colleagues. Participants will have access to conference materials and contact information to facilitate ongoing interaction about clinical teaching interests.
Outside of the program curriculum, participants will have the options of participating in a storytelling event in the style of the The Moth StorySLAM, and attending a Pirates baseball game.
