Counseling Will Be the Focus of CSD Teaching Conference at the University of Pittsburgh This Year

​The seventh biennial Communication Science and Disorders Teaching Conference at the University of Pittsburgh, which takes place June 15-17, 2017, will address the art and science of teaching counseling in the classroom and clinic. The three-day conference will give audiology faculty and clinical instructors the opportunity to discuss best practice in teaching counseling and benefit from resources shared by the conference faculty, which includes sample course or clinical handouts, practicum strategies, reference lists, take-home assignments, lab exercises, and practical exams. The program also includes breakout and poster sessions.

The conference will feature two prominent scholars in the field of audiology. Robert Sweetow, PhD, clinical professor in the department of otolaryngology – head and neck surgery at the University of California, San Francisco, will be the keynote speaker at the conference. Dr. Sweetow has served on the board of directors at the American Academy of Audiology, and is a prolific scholar who has written 25 textbook chapters and over 120 articles. Lisa Scott, PhD, CCC-SLP, director of clinical education and research associate in the School of Communication Science and Disorders at Florida State University, will serve as the moderator of the program. ​
