Supporting the efforts of the audiology profession to affect widespread diversity, the 6th annual Clinical Education Forum will address the challenges and impact of microaggressions within clinical education.

It is necessary for preceptors and students to have the skills to respond to or to report microaggressions. Highlighting a variety of incivilities and microaggressions that students and clinicians face regularly, this forum seeks to give preceptors, educators, and students a better understanding of the problems and to work through strategies to resolve them.

The three-part session will include first identification of the problem, followed by a panel of students and preceptors to share specific experiences, and then move to a combination of small-group facilitated discussions of participants about guided scenarios and then large group discussion of solutions.

The Academy's Academic Program Committee will also share a compilation of resources to support personal growth and awareness in this area. The Clinical Education Forum is planned in collaboration with the Council of Academic Programs in Communication Science Disorders.

Learning Objectives:

Describe the different ways that microaggressions occur.
Identify specific examples of problems that arise between the stakeholders in the clinical relationship such as preceptor, student, patient, and clinical staff.
Discuss strategies to handle the problems of microaggressions in the clinical environment.
