Course Abstract
The advent of expanded scopes of practice in audiology and speech-language pathology has brought more visibility and autonomy to the professions, but it has also created an environment in which more complex, challenging decision-making is required of professionals. As a result, there is a need for practitioners to obtain practical experience in recognizing, reporting and resolving ethical dilemmas from both a professional and a regulatory board perspective. Featuring excerpts from hit songs, ethical situations/scenarios are analyzed by the participants to recognize potential violations and develop methodologies for resolution.

I loved the examples of cases regarding ethics violations and what could happen in each of those situations. In graduate school, not enough academia or attention was placed on ethics. I know myself and other fellow graduates were confused and uneducated. Thankfully, my previous corporate experience helped me and I transferred my knowledge to the medical field. Excellent Course!!

The speakers presented excellent ethical scenarios and encouraged participant interaction (w/ the live presentation...). Ms. Rodgers & Mr. Waguespack also gave very clear explanations of the nature of the violations & appropriate sanctions. I especially appreciated that the speakers conversed with the audience vs. merely lecturing or reading their slides!
