Abstract: The externship constitutes greater than 50 % of the clinical education of the AuD degree. It is an exciting, challenging and influential time for both students and preceptors. The experience appears to be overwhelmingly positive; however, complications may arise at any point in the externship process. This session will address dilemmas and unexpected events facing students, preceptors or externship coordinators. Mechanisms to manage partnerships, recognize, and resolve potential sources of conflict among externship stakeholders will be discussed.

Learning Objectives:

Identify and ameliorate potential sources of conflict and uncertainty within your externship program.
Define measures to assist the externship student and preceptors in self-assessment of skills.
Define mechanisms to evaluate and address student and preceptor performance concerns.
