    Speakers
    • Joe A. Melcher, PhD - Professor Emeritus
      Xavier University of Louisiana
    Summary
    The US population has become more diverse, however, this diversity is not represented in our student population in CSD. This requires innovative recruitment practices to identify students for our professions. As students transition into graduate education, our expectations shift to more application-based learning. The session will discuss recruitment of underrepresented populations, alignment of curriculum methods between undergraduate and graduate education, and alternative career path options.

    Learning Objectives:
  • Identify three potential solutions for recruiting underrepresented populations into CSD
  • Understand the need for innovative methods of preparation of undergraduates for a successful transition to a graduate program
  • Describe the value of the UG degree in CSD in selecting alternate career paths

    • Eusabia Mont, M.S., CCC-SLP - Associate Clinical Professor
      University of Maryland, College Park
    Summary
    Abstract: A major goal of the Cultural and Linguistic Diversity Emphasis Program (CLD-EP) at the University of Maryland, College Park is to reduce health disparities in underrepresented populations through culturally responsive clinical training. However, without examining how culturally responsive practices are sustained over time, the achievement of this goal cannot be determined (Brach, C., & Fraserirector, I., 2000). This session discusses data from an ongoing IRB to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and skills of students enrolled in a clinical diversity training program from pre-service training through the clinical fellowship.

    Learning Objectives:
  • Describe methods for tracking diversity-learning during and following completion of a clinical diversity training program.
  • Discuss the best methods to deliver diversity-related content in a clinical training program based on current research data.
  • Discuss the implications of research data for curriculum and program development in diversity-related clinical training programs.

      Calvin University
    • Kenn Apel, PhD - Professor/Chair
      University of South Carolina
    • Melody Harrison, PhD CCC SLP - Professor Emerita
      University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
    Summary
    The extant literature is rich with information on teaching ethical behaviors to students, yet much less so when it comes to learning how faculty can ensure their own ethical classroom behavior. Examples of potential ethical conflict include demonstrating impartiality, implementing exams and assignments, permitting students to express a variety of viewpoints, managing teaching assistants, and forming multiple relationships with students. This session will address ethical principles and applying them to common classroom dilemmas, and guides for ethical decision-making. Case studies will be used to highlight the conversation between presenter and participants.

    Learning Objectives:
  • Identify which ethical values may be present in a given classroom situation;
  • Analyze at least one case study using an ethical-decision making model; and,
  • Develop at least 2 possible solutions to ethical conflicts faced by faculty in the classroom environment.

    • Melissa Fruscione, JD - Director of Admissions - Graduate Studies
      Saint Mary's College
    Summary
    This facilitated discussion will look at the CSD graduate applicant's process and the difficulties associated with it. Graduate programs face very difficult decisions regarding whom to admit, with many qualified applicants and a limited number of spaces within programs. Admissions processes are a bit different across programs, but few include an interview as part of their graduate admissions review. Programs wonder the worth of an interview on the selection process; however, some applicants who seem to be a perfect match on paper are not! In this PSIE, a cursory review of holistic review and the role of interviews will be discussed with the presenters and audience. A discussion regarding the benefits and risks of interviewing will be facilitated in order to answer questions and provide insight regarding applicant feedback, time and effort, and outcomes for programs.

    Learning Objectives:
  • Describe at least two processes to conduct interviews for graduate admissions at their institution.
  • Compare and contrast benefits and deterrents of using interviews for graduate admissions.
  • Identify evidence to support the rationale for conducting interviews for graduate admissions.

      University of South Florida
    • Donald Nielsen, PhD - Audiology University Adviser
      Fuel Medical Group
    Summary
    Abstract: Reshaping academic audiology programs begins with asking probing questions: How does your program look relative to 5 or 10 years ago? Same students, same curriculum, same goals? What environmental factors are forcing change? If you could start from scratch, how would your program look? Would it impress new students, parents, patients, faculty, administrators, and the profession? Would it be collaborative with other departments, clinics, or programs on campus or near-by institutions? Addressing these strategic questions within your department will build consensus around a programmatic strategy that enables new or rejuvenated programs to succeed in times of change and disruption.

    Learning Objectives:
  • Identify the dynamic environmental factors forcing change in academic audiology programs and plan how to deal with them.
  • Create a new or reshape an existing academic program, which will impress all stakeholders.
  • Identify and apply creative solutions for shaping new or refreshing existing academic audiology programs and departments.

    Speakers
    • Courtney L. Seidel, CCC-SLP - Associate Clinical Professor
      University of Wisconsin - Madison
    Summary
    How do we reach millennial students and engage them actively in learning? Imagine more classrooms where students are motivated to dive into learning. Imagine more students who explain how their strategies are evidence-based. Imagine more engaging ways to teach CSD students! Video examples serve as online learning which promote prerequisite knowledge and allows for class-time to focus on active learning. This presentation focuses on how video examples serve as independent, online learning that promotes the acquisition of prerequisite knowledge and skills (at the lower end of Bloom’s taxonomy) thus allowing in-class time to focus on higher-level, active learning activities.

    Learning Objectives:
  • Move the novice student/clinician along a continuum from being unconsciously unskilled to consciously skilled
  • Employ blended learning by offering evidence-based video examples to students as independent, online learning
  • Structure in-class/meeting time in a way that it focuses on higher-level, active learning activities

    The Introvert's Guide to Academic Leadership

    4/23/2020 2:00 PM - 4/23/2020 3:30 PM

    Speakers
    • Jeff Buller, PhD - Senior Partner
      ATLAS Leadership Training
    Summary
    Most leadership books and management courses are designed for extraverts. In fact, many of the practices commonly regarded as “effective leadership” (complete accessibility, ease and graciousness in social situations, the willingness to take calculated risks) come far more naturally to extraverts than to introverts. But well more than half of the people who choose an academic career are introverts. How can they be effective as leaders? This workshop explores how introverts can build on their strengths, compensate for their weaknesses, and balance their leadership teams so as to achieve more of their high-priority goals.

    Learning Objectives:
  • Upon completion, participants will be able to distinguish the leadership strengths of introverts from those of extraverts.
  • Upon completion, participants will be able to work more effectively with extraverted colleagues (and vice versa).
  • Upon completion, participants will be able to compensate for the weaknesses that introverts occasionally bring to leadership situations.

    Summary
    Creating opportunities for students to acquire medical experiences is challenging, especially for programs without affiliated medical schools or other allied health programs and for programs in rural areas or smaller cities. This session describes a series of activities our College of Education-based program has implemented, including an acute care simulation lab, collaborations with local skilled nursing facilities, and hands-on dysphagia lab. These opportunities have increased the variety of clinical cases our students are exposed to and the number of adult clinical clock hours earned. They also resulted in increased ratings on final performance evaluations completed by medical externship supervisors.

    Learning Objectives:
  • Upon completion, the participants will be able to identify challenges in providing high quality, medical-based training to speech-language pathology students, particularly in communities with limited access to other healthcare resources
  • Upon completion, the participants will be able to describe potential benefits of simulation and hands-on lab training.
  • Upon completion, attendees will be able to develop an initial plan for integrating one strategy learned in the presentation into their own clinical program

    Summary
    The periodic evaluation of all faculty is paramount for career advancement and program success. It is also a central component of institutional policy. However, the role and responsibility of clinical faculty do not always fit neatly within traditional methods of faculty review. Establishing identified opportunities for feedback and clearly defined evaluation processes provide an infrastructure to strengthen job satisfaction and career advancement for clinical faculty. In addition, this infrastructure supports a program’s ability to demonstrate that they are meeting their principles, as well as providing evidence for advocacy within the university.

    Learning Objectives:
  • Identify the role and purpose of faculty evaluation in annual review and promotion
  • Discuss challenges related to the evaluation of clinical faculty
  • Develop a list of strategies/tools for fair, objective, and valuable feedback and evaluation of clinical faculty

      University of Texas at Dallas
    Summary
    Predicting students’ academic and clinical success before admission would allow graduate programs to select the best few candidates from large applicant fields. Programs would be able to maximize resources in the selection process and limit student remediation or failure. For multiple cohorts at the University of Texas at Dallas, various admission metrics (GRE, GPA, interviews, recommendation letters, class standing) were evaluated relative to formative and summative program outcomes throughout the program's time course (Performance Assessment of Skills; comprehensive case-based examinations, clinical competency summaries; PRAXIS scores) to determine which admission criteria best predict successful program outcomes. Results will be reviewed.

    Learning Objectives:
  • Describe the limitations for predicting success in an AuD program from typical admission criteria such as undergraduate GPA, GRE, and letters of recommendation.
  • Examine whether ad-hoc, qualitative assessments, such as interviews, aid in identification of candidates who will be successful in the program.
  • Identify admission criteria that are positively associated with student program outcomes.

    Summary
    In 2016, collaboratively with the Department of Respiratory Therapy, we developed and implemented a simulation-based IPE program for SLP and RT graduate students. Our program focused on acquiring the clinical and interprofessional communication skills needed to evaluate candidacy for oral communication and oral feeding in patients with a tracheostomy. To date, 143 students have participated. Learning outcomes were measured across the affective and cognitive domains, with pre/post scores on questionnaires and written examinations analyzed via t-tests. Four-year aggregate results demonstrate improved decision making and interprofessional communication confidence (p<0.0001); and, greater tracheostomy/ventilator knowledge (p<0.0001). Challenges and lessons learned will be discussed.

    Learning Objectives:
  • Describe how a collaborative interprofessional clinical simulation activity can enhance graduate student learning
  • Describe some of the challenges in developing clinical simulation learning activities using case-based scenarios
  • Assess multiple learning domains following a clinical simulation activity.

      University of Kentucky
    Summary
    First-semester graduate SLP students were trained to collect case histories through a didactic lecture and one of two lab conditions: computer-based simulation or standard-patient simulation. Following the lab, the students’ performance in case history collection was evaluated using an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE). A 35-item checklist was used to rate their performance during the OSCE. Students in both lab conditions performed similarly in the OSCE. Student perception surveys indicated that those in the standard-patient condition tended to endorse increased knowledge, confidence, and preparedness more frequently than those in the computer-based condition.

    Learning Objectives:
  • Define the five different types of simulation methods described in the literature.
  • Describe the results of this program’s comparison of standardized patient simulation and computer-based simulation in regard to the participants' case history collection skill and participants' perceptions.
  • Discuss and appraise the Case History Collection Competency Evaluation checklist.
