EVAL & MGT BAL DIS I

In order to provide comprehensive audiologic services to their patients, audiologists are often required to perform vestibular and balance assessments. The successful completion of a vestibular assessment requires the clinician to have an understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the systems being tested, the medical history of the patient, the techniques needed to perform the testing, and the way to properly interpret the test results. In addition, once the cause of the disorder is determined, understanding the techniques that are available for treatment will allow the clinician to assist in the treatment of the patient. This course is the first of a 2-course series designed to instruct the audiology doctoral student in the anatomy and physiology of the vestibular and balance systems, and the techniques used in a standard electronystagmography evaluation. In addition, the students will learn the pathophysiology of common vestibular and balance disorders. Three hours lecture per week.

INTERN: CLIN AUDIO

The Speech, Hearing, and Language Clinic of Bloomsburg University is an integral part of the teaching-training program of the Department of Audiology and Speech Pathology. The clinic provides outpatient diagnostic and therapeutic services for persons of all ages with speech, hearing, and language problems, including students and other members of the college community and residents of the Bloomsburg area. It serves as an extension of the classroom where students can apply and study evaluation procedures, therapeutic methods, techniques and materials, and the classification and etiology of speech and hearing disorders. The clinic provides the student with an opportunity to relate text and lecture information to actual clinical cases under the close supervision of certified staff. Students gain experience in all aspects of remediation diagnosis, therapy, counseling, report writing with a wide variety of clients. The clinic is necessary and inseparable from the existing course sequence. It becomes an important step in the development of a competent clinician, linking the classroom and theory with the clinical experiences, certification, and employment in the field. Internships are carried out within the Speech, Hearing and Language Clinic at Bloomsburg University.

CLIN EXT/RES 2

An integral part of the teaching-training program is to have the student transition to hospitals; ENT practices, audiology practices, and medical clinics. This will enable the student to gain experience with a diverse population of clients (age, gender, pathology, social/economic, and race), equipment, and clinical/medical procedures. It is the bridge between the theoretical experience and being prepared for the workplace. The Council for Academic Accreditation requires that specific contact hours must be completed across five categories and two age groups. The total number of contact hours in these categories and age groups will be 2,000 to 3,000 hours. These hours must be acquired in three distinct sites or work environments and there must be a full-time 12-month residency experience. The clinical experience in this sequence of courses will be a graded transition. The first experience (638, 642, 646) will be half time external with academic courses. Experiences 647-648 will be full-time external. This will ensure the diversity and hours needed to be prepared for employment, licensure, and certification.
