AUDE 7210 - Educational Audiology
2.5 credit hours
This course will cover the role of audiologists in educational settings. Educational audiology has become recognized as a specialty area in our profession, since the responsibilities of an educational audiologist differ significantly from those of audiologists in many other clinical settings.

Legislative mandates have increased the availability of educational audiology services in the schools, but the number of educational audiologists is still insufficient to provide the level of services our children deserve. Clinical and educational audiologists must understand each other’s roles and work cooperatively to help address the communication needs of children. At the conclusion of this course students will have a better understanding of the role of the educational audiologist, an appreciation of how educational audiology relates to whole person healthcare, and perhaps an interest in pursuing an educational audiology role in future career planning. Course topics will include the identification, assessment and management of hearing loss related to the educational setting

AUDE 7330 - Ethics in Audiology
2.5 credit hours
Ethics is the branch of philosophy that deals with the study and evaluation of human conduct in light of moral principles, which may be viewed as the individual’s standard of conduct, or as a body of social obligations and duties (Institute of Chiropractic Ethics.) Audiology, in its transition to a doctoring profession, is faced with redefining many ethical principles to reflect current state of the art and clinical practice realities. Ethical obligations may not reflect personal beliefs, but audiologists have a professional obligation to be responsible for, and abide by, the ethical standards of the associations and organizations to which they belong. ASHA, AAA, ADA and other professional organizations have adopted codes of ethics that set forth standards of integrity and ethical principles for their members. The codes call for certain behaviors in specific situations, but cannot be expected to cover every situation that calls for ethical behavior. In this class, we will examine the “spirit” of the codes as well as the “letter,” and establish a framework for ethical decision making. Multicultural aspects of patient care and issues related to disparities in healthcare will also be presented.

DOH 506 - Introduction to Clinical Dentistry II
1.8 credit hours
During the orientation period, students will have initial experiences working in the clinical setting to familiarize themselves with clinic protocols, infection control procedures, ergonomics, assisting, taking and recording vitals. Students will be introduced to the rationale and application of ergonomic principles related to performing restorative dentistry when using dental auxiliaries. Students will learn the basic principles of four-handed dentistry and apply that learning in the clinical setting. There will be classroom and preclinical activity focused on strategies for maximizing the abilities of dental auxiliaries so as to provide a safe and productive clinical setting. Legal and ethical considerations of dental auxiliary training, employment and management will also be discussed.

-
DOH 513 - Pharmacology I
2.7 credit hours
This module integrates and reinforces the basic science material by combining the clinical aspects of the pathology of a certain system, its oral manifestations and dental management with the pharmacological basis for its treatment. Using patient cases to illustrate these concepts, students analyze medical histories to discuss the dental implications of the specific pathology, while emphasizing its pharmacological management. This module will also introduce the dental student to the basic concepts and principles of pharmacology with emphasis on drug classes of significance to dentistry.
