AUD 700 - Professional Roles & Responsibilities


1 credit hour

This module is designed to introduce students to the professional roles and responsibilities of a variety of members of the healthcare delivery team. An understanding of the function of each of the different types of healthcare professionals is valuable when students work with and practice as members of a professional healthcare team. Particular emphasis will be placed on those health professions that are professionally prepared at A.T. Still University of Health Sciences, and will include an orientation to the history and philosophy of osteopathic medicine upon which the institution is founded.

This module will not address the study of audiology specifically, but will concentrate on what audiology can learn from the histories, philosophies, experiences, and evolutions of other professions. In addition, since this is an early offering in the curriculum, this module will also continue to build on what you have learned so far regarding the use of interactive computer-based media as an educational delivery strategy, including the further development of web-searching skills.
