Practice Management And Professional Issues CEU Courses

Shareef Mahdavi is a patient experience expert. In this podcast he shares several valuable insights on how to create more remarkable and engaging patient experiences, designed to set clinicians apart from OTC retailers.

The course explores ways to draw on Deaf professionals' expertise in working with families of Deaf and hard of hearing infants and young children. A highlight of Deaf people's knowledge, experiences, expertise, and contributions in the EHDI (Early Hearing Detection and Intervention) System will be discussed.

This course will focus on treatment of APD in context of interprofessional practice and holistic approach.. A review of previous methodology will first be reviewed, then will be followed by evidence of an interprofessional approach and why this is a preferred method. Concomittant diagnoses most closely associated with APD in military professions will be discussed.

The field of hearing health care research would benefit from evaluating and expanding pragmatic translational research approaches to extend equitable hearing health care and novel interventions to diverse populations. This presentation will explore pragmatic approaches to address health disparities through research and community-based program development.

It is important to understand how unseen barriers can affect access to care in Audiology. This course will explore the topic of trauma, how it relates to equity, trauma-informed care, and ways to implement this approach in the field of Audiology.

Chronic diseases are medical conditions of long duration and slow progression. Chronic diseases are caused by a combination of genetic, physiological, environmental, and behavioral factors. They often result in significant activity limitations and participation restrictions and require ongoing medical attention. Although most chronic diseases are not curable, the impact of these chronic diseases can be reduced by medications and personal lifestyle improvement.

In this podcast, Kathy Dowd, AuD, of The Audiology Project, discusses the co-morbidities associated with hearing loss of adults onset and the importance of early identification.

In this course you will learn how to create a healthy and holistic work environment for high performing teams in hearing healthcare. The knowledge learned in this course will help promote collaboration and team science and will ultimately result in healthier and happier employees.

With expanding indications for implantable hearing solutions, it is important for patients to have timely access to potential treatment solutions. As a result of recent indication changes, The University of Miami Hearing Implant Program implemented new protocols for one group of patients in order to improve the overall experience. As a result, not only did the individual patient experience improve, they documented additional unpredicted benefits that benefitted their entire program. This webinar reviews that study and the observed outcomes.

Clinical simulation is a powerful training tool offering opportunities for students to practice key competencies in preparation for direct patient care experiences. Innovative simulation models in audiology supply evidenced-based student learning opportunities which may be used by instructors, clinical educators, preceptors, and entry level employers to evaluate or assess an individual's clinical skill set.

This presentation uses the Integrated Behavioral Model used in public health interventions to identify the barriers preventing the implementation of a cognitive decline screening program in an audiology practice. This course will discuss the barriers involved with implementing a screening program and provide concrete guidance on practical steps an audiologist can take to begin a screening program in their practice.
