4.00pm EST - 5:30pm EST
About the Webinar Series
Funded through the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB), the MCHB/AUCD LEND Pediatric Audiology Training Program supports 10 LEND programs to increase the didactic content and clinical experience of trainees in pediatric audiology. This webinar series has been organized to enable LEND trainees to present their perspective on pediatric audiology and the interdisciplinary LEND experience.
Objectives
- Describe challenging pediatric audiology case studies in view of cultural differences
- Explain the diagnostic process for arriving at a hearing loss diagnosis
- Describe the audiological management provided to children with hearing loss in light of other medical or social challenges
- Identify LEND competencies as they relate to the cases presented
- Illustrate how LEND core competencies impact care and management of children with hearing loss
Program Description
This webinar will include feature presentations from trainees within two LEND pediatric audiology programs: Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC and Boston Children's Hospital. Case vignettes will be presented by LEND audiologists to highlight not only learning within pediatric audiology but how this learning relates to the core competencies of LEND. Cases will be chosen by LEND trainees to highlight the complexity of providing appropriate audiological diagnosis and management in light of other medical or social challenges
