Summary: What are competencies, and why do they matter? This course explores what competencies are, how they are developed, how they are used, and how they can benefit an individual professional as well as an entire profession. This is the first of four courses in the Career Pathways: Exploring Competency Frameworks series.

Summary: In this panel discussion, an audiologist and a speech-language pathologist share how they are currently using competencies in their practices to enhance client, patient, and student care. The panelists also discuss the drivers for implementing competencies at their workplaces, their colleagues' responses to the shift to using competencies, and the benefits they have experienced at the individual and organization level. This is the last of four courses in the Career Pathways: Exploring Competency Frameworks series.

Summary: This course explores why embedding competencies in practice is useful and introduces a framework for doing so. The speaker discusses using competencies as a tool for professional growth, including methods for evaluating competency and the benefits and challenges of each method.

Summary: This session is designed for any SLP involved in the inpatient and/or outpatient management for patients who have a tracheostomy tube. The presenter discusses different tube types and their uses, advantages, disadvantages, and manufacturers. The session addresses sizing of tracheostomy tubes and the purpose of inner cannulae and speaking valves, and their relevance to communication and swallowing abilities.

Summary: The provision of comprehensive auditory rehabilitation services is critical to successful patient outcomes, yet many audiologists focus primarily or exclusively on amplification due to time, reimbursement, and compliance challenges. This session will clearly define the components of auditory rehabilitation and provide specific strategies and tools to help overcome challenges.

Summary: Many clinicians feel ill-equipped to provide management services to aging adults who experience both hearing loss and bothersome tinnitus. This course describes strategies for evaluating and managing tinnitus in older patients to improve their quality of life.

Summary: Impairments in laryngeal vestibule closure (LVC) are a major cause of aspiration during swallowing. Accurately identifying LVC impairment is a priority in dysphagia management as aspiration can occur if LVC is absent or delayed, or duration is reduced. However, this mechanism is often overlooked and underreported in the evaluation of swallowing and in swallowing research. This session discusses methods for incorporating LVC as a primary outcome measure in dysphagia diagnosis and management to increase diagnostic accuracy and optimize dysphagia management.

Summary: The field of audiology focuses mostly on the peripheral auditory system-in both diagnosis and management-but other factors (e.g., "hidden hearing loss" and/or reduced cognitive ability) may play a role in an individual's ability to communicate in diverse environments. This session discusses how audiologists can incorporate evoked potential testing into the assessment battery to obtain a more comprehensive picture of auditory function.

Summary: This session explores how policy and clinical practice impact each other. The presenters discuss the making of public policy, and how it is interpreted and implemented into clinical practice in health care settings. The presenters also discuss the flip side—how clinical practice itself informs advocacy for shaping future public policy. Learners can think about their professional roles in interpreting policy and advocating for change.

Summary: Screening for dizziness and balance problems can help identify those at risk of falling and allow for interventions to prevent falls and injuries. This session discusses the benefits of dizziness and balance screenings for seniors, including early detection of balance problems, improved quality of life, prevention of falls, and peace of mind.
