LM308 - Evidence-Based Precepting

Abstract: Clinical education is a cornerstone of the audiology doctoral experience. This experience relies on preceptors within the university and in the community, but other than years of practice there are few other requirements for preceptors. As hearing healthcare providers, audiologists use evidenced-based practice for their care of patients and the same should be true for their precepting methods. Thankfully, there is a plethora of information regarding evidence based precepting practices within other healthcare fields that audiology can look to for support. This presentation will discuss evidence based precepting practices utilized in other areas of healthcare and apply them to audiology.
