PROGRESS THROUGH THE AUD PROGRAM
Curriculum
Planning/Supervisory Committee
1. Students will enroll in coursework each semester based on the
advisement
memos sent out by the Au.D. Graduate Coordinator. (See
the current curriculum)
2. Establishment and Functions of the Supervisory Committee
a) The supervisory committee must be formed by the student prior to
the completion of his or her second semester in the program, and shall
consist of a chair and one member, both of whom are members of the
Audiology
graduate faculty.
b) The committee can be established by seeing the graduate secretary
in Dauer 336.
c) Curriculum monitoring with the supervisory committee will focus
on the overall AuD curriculum requirements, the previous coursework of
the student, and the needs and interests of the student.
Layout of the AuD
Program
The curriculum of the AuD is designed to meet the needs of
comprehensive
audiologic practice. The goal of the curriculum is to educate
professionals
who are able to function and work independently upon graduation.
The curriculum is also designed to provide a sound foundation for those
students who are interested in pursuing graduate work toward a Ph.D. in
audiology.
The program is a 45-month course of study emphasizing the principles and practices underlying the evaluation and (re-)habilitation of human auditory and vestibular disorders. It incorporates didactic instruction overlapping with clinical rotations during the first 8 semesters of the program, followed by competency-based evaluations of critical clinical reasoning skills and a 12-month clinical externship. The audiological externship during the final year of the program provides the student with the opportunity to hone their clinical skills in a variety of areas. Therefore, potential externships sites must meet with the approval of the AuD faculty. The highest priority requirements for an externship site are:
1. The availability of on-site supervision by an appropriately
credentialed,
doctoral-level audiologist;
2. The availability of a range of experience appropriate to the
student’s
needs.
The Director of Clinical Education makes externship assignments. The Director will attempt to meet student’s interests and preferences. The externship experience may or may not be a paid position. Students will need to successfully interview with potential externship preceptors. The Director of Clinical Education will place any student who is unable to successfully interview for an externship in an appropriate site.
Completion of the program leads to the Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.)
degree,
and eligibility for the Certificate of Clinical Competence in Audiology
(CCC-A, awarded by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association),
Board
Certification in Audiology from the American Academy of Audiology, and
for state licensure/registration in Audiology.
Annual
Reviews
of Student Progress/Performance
Written comprehensive examinations will be administered annually in
May. Comprehensive examinations are designed to assess and
facilitate
retention and integration of knowledge within the field of clinical
audiology.
Content areas included in the annual comprehensive examination will be
those covered in the student’s curriculum to date. Failure of any
comprehensive exam question will result in the student being required
to
take another exam in that cognate area within six weeks of the initial
examination. Failure on the second comprehensive exam will result
in the denial of continued enrollment. If any student fails more
than two components of the written comprehensive exam, he/she will be
placed
on probation and a contract for expected improvement will be
established
in conjunction with the Director of Audiology. The contract must
be successfully completed or the student will be denied continued
enrollment.
1. First Year: Written examinations will be developed
for
all students by the audiology faculty. The Director of Audiology
will give feedback to the student and he/she will be given the
opportunity
to reply.
2. Second Year: Written examinations will be developed
for all students by the audiology faculty. Products from
independent
research projects will also be evaluated. The Director of
Audiology
will provide the student with feedback on his/her performance, and
he/she
will be given the opportunity to reply.
3. Third Year: Students will be evaluated in written and practical comprehensive examinations. The third year practical examination is designed to establish clinical competencies in a range of areas of clinical audiology prior to undertaking the fourth year externship. Practical comprehensive examinations will be administered in early spring. The Director of Audiology will provide feedback to the student on his/her performance and he/she will be given the opportunity to reply.
Students must pass all portions of the written and practical comprehensive examinations prior to beginning their audiology externship. Failure of any portion of the practical comprehensive exam will result in the student being required to repeat that portion of the exam within four weeks of the initial examination. Failure of the repeated practical comprehensive examination will result in the student being placed on probation and deferral of the audiology externship. During the deferral period, the student will complete a practicum placement designed to help him/her develop the appropriate competencies. Certain portions of the practical comprehensive exam may be met through supervised independent completion of specified clinical activities during clinical practica.
4. Fourth Year: The Director of Clinical Education will evaluate the student’s performance in the clinical externship and will provide a written summary to the Director of Audiology. Feedback will be given to the student and he/she will be given the opportunity to reply.
Adequate Progress
Students in the AuD program are expected to maintain adequate academic
and clinical progress. Satisfactory grades within the Au.D.
program
are defined as B or better for all courses with a SPA or CAS prefix,
and
as a C or better in all other courses. Students will be required
to repeat courses with SPA or CAS prefixes in which they earn a grade
of
C+ or less. No course may be repeated more than once for an
improved
grade. Failure to obtain a satisfactory grade upon repeating a
course
will result in denial of continued enrollment in the Au.D. program.
Au.D. students showing questionable academic or clinical progress will undergo a review of their progress by the faculty. Questionable academic or clinical progress includes but is not limited to:
a) those students earning a C+ or less in one or more courses,This review will include a discussion of the student’s performance with faculty and preceptors with whom the student has worked, followed by a meeting with the student. Possible outcomes of this review include:
b) those students who fail sections of the comprehensive exams, and
c) students making limited or suspect progress in their clinical practica.
1) Generation of a written contract describing the progress required during the next semester to permit continuation in the program, and how this progress will be assessed;Students earning 2 or more grades of C+ or less in SPA or CAS courses including clinical courses, or 3 or more grades of C+ or less in any courses will be denied continued enrollment in the Au.D. program.
2) Denial of continued enrollment in the Au.D. program.
Exit
Interview/Certification
for Graduation
During the Final Semester of the fourth year of the AuD program, the
student will schedule an exit interview with the AuD Graduate
Coordinator.
During the Exit Interview, the student will provide evidence of
completion
of all AuD and applicable graduate school requirements:
1. Coursework
2. Practicum hours
3. Forwarding Address, telephone and e-mail
4. Review of Program turned in
5. NESPA exam score
6. Transcript requested to be sent to AuD program following graduation.
The Exit Interview must take place no later than 10 days prior to the date of that semester’s commencement exercises. Following the Exit Interview, the Graduate Coordinator will certify students qualifying for the AuD Degree. Certification will go to the registrar’s office.

1. Initial
Clinical Experience in Audiology (Fall 1st Year):
This is for the beginning level graduate students in Audiology. All
students
are required to have 25 hours of clinical observation before working
with
patients. Students who do not bring 25 hours of observation into the
program
will have an opportunity to observe various phases of audiologic
practice. Clinical
observation at outside sites will be arranged if necessary. The outside
clinical observation assignments are determined by the Director of
Clinical
Education (DCE), and will be required only until a student has
completed 25
hours of observation in audiology. Within the first 3 weeks of the
semester,
each student should have completed the required 25 hours of clinical
observation and have started to accumulate patient contact hours or
“clock
hours”. Students are assigned to 4 hours of clinic per week at the UF
Speech
and Hearing Clinic as well as 4 hours per week at an off-site location. All clinical assignments are determined by
the DCE in coordination with a representative from the Department of
Communicative Disorders. At the end of
this semester, students should demonstrate knowledge of audiometer
calibration,
audiometric symbols, otoscopy, tympanometry, pure-tone and speech
audiometry,
as well as effective interactions with patients, families, and other
appropriate individuals and professionals.
2. Clinical Clerkship (Spring 1st
Year): This is a beginning level audiologic
practicum. Students are assigned 8 hours of clinical practicum per week
of
which they spend 4 hours at the Speech and Hearing Clinic and 4 hours
at
outside sites. The outside site assignments are determined by the DCE
in
coordination with a representative from the Department of Communicative
Disorders. Students continue to acquire skills in calibration,
conventional
audiometry, counseling, report writing and documentation, effective
interactions with patients, families, and other appropriate individuals
as well
as basic competency skills that relate to their assigned clinics.
3. Clinical Clerkship (Summer A 1st
Year): Students are assigned 16 hours of
clinical practicum per week of which they spend 4 hours at the Speech
and
Hearing Clinic and 12 hours at outside sites. The outside site
assignments are
determined by the DCE in coordination with a representative from the
Department
of Communicative Disorders. Students demonstrate ability to perform
more
advanced competency skills that relate to their assigned clinics.
4. Audiology Practicum (2nd Year –
Fall, Spring & Summer): Students are
assigned 16 hours of clinical practicum per week all of which are at
outside
sites. Students continue to demonstrate more advanced competency skills
that
relate to their assigned clinics.
5. Audiology Practicum (3rd Year –
Fall & Spring): Students are assigned 20
hours of clinical practicum, all at outside sites. In addition to this
the students
will participate in a 3rd year seminar.
6. Audiology Externship (4th Year):
Students work 30-40 hours per week at an
approved external clinical site.
Assigning
Students to Clinical Rotations
Placement of students in practicum sites will be completed to ensure
the development of the range of competencies in the audiological scope
of practice. Student clinical progress will be evaluated
throughout
the program to track the development of these competencies.
Student
clinicians will be evaluated at midterm and at the end of each term
using
the UF Au.D. Evaluation of Clinical Competence form. In addition,
audiological preceptors will provide regular opportunities for feedback
to the student and discussion of student performance, preceptor's
performance,
and issues of clinical practice. Placements for clinical
rotations
will be based on the
student’s competencies, the availability of positions in particular
sites, and when possible, student requests. In accordance with
ASHA,
students are supervised 100% for their first 10 hours of
patient/clinician
interaction. After the first 10 hours, supervision ranges from
25-100%
for audiologic habilitation/rehabilitation, and 50-100% for
diagnostics.
Clinical Hours. You are responsible for maintaining up to date records of your clinical hours. Instructions for logging into UF's E-Learning web site will be provided at orientation. You should log in every week to enter your hours.
At the end of the semester it is your responsibility to print your hours and have your supervisor sign them. A copy of your signed hours should be given to Dr. Holmes to keep in the database. ***Make sure that you keep your originals. Only turn in copies.
Clinical Skills Tracking. Each
student
is also responsible for recording the audiology skills they have
practiced
each week via UF's E-Learning web site. For example, a student
would document how
many
instances of otoscopy, pure tone audiometry and tympanometry they have
completed in one week. This tracking allows faculty to monitor the
amount
of experience students tend to acquire in each practicum site, as well
as what experiences individual students may lack. This
information
is then used in making future placement decisions.
Eligibility for Extern Assignments
1. 78 credit hours of coursework in all aspects of basic science, applied audiology and clinical research and 15 credit hours of clinical education experience in the doctorate of audiology (Au.D.) program.
2. In good standing with the University of Florida and Colleges of
Liberal
Art & Sciences (Communication Sciences & Disorders)/Public
Health
& Health Professions (Communicative Disorders).
Practicum Site Selection
The fourth year externship experience typically occurs outside of the University of Florida. It is recommended that the site have a broad base of clinical activities in audiology to give the student as much experience in their last year of school in as many activities as possible. This experience may be provided at a single site, multiple sites, or in a consortium arrangement. Examples of a broad-based experience include exposure in the following knowledge areas: diagnostic audiology, amplification, cochlear implants, pediatric audiology, counseling, medical audiology, assessment and management of vestibular disorders, educational audiology, audiologic rehabilitation, auditory processing disorders, electrophysiology, and industrial audiology. However, a student may be placed in extern sites that specialize in a particular area that also have activities whereby the students can gain experience in other clinical areas. The role of the chosen site will be to offer supervision and consultation with the student with regard to his or her clinical activities and to provide feedback on a quarterly basis as to the progress of each student.
The externship experience is intended to provide the student with a
broad-based clinical experience in the diagnosis, treatment, management
and prevention of hearing loss. At the present time, there is not
an absolute set definition of an extern site, however the faculty in
both
departments must agree upon the extern site based upon its reputation.
Clinical Supervision Requirements
The following requirements must be followed during the course of practicum:
1. The extern preceptor must hold either the ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) and/or a state licensure in audiology. Copies of current state licensure and/or ASHA CCC must be submitted to the University of Florida Communicative Disorders Department before the student may begin the externship.
2. At the extern site there must be a doctorate level audiologist on site at all times to offer the extern immediate consultation/feedback as needed.
3. The externship program was designed to provide students with 40
hours
a week of direct patient care. The role of the preceptor includes the
following:
a. Conferring with the extern concerning clinical treatment strategies
b. Periodically evaluating the extern’s clinical records, including
(a) diagnostic records, (b) treatment records, (c) correspondence, (d)
plans of treatment, and (e)
summaries of clinical conferences
c. Evaluating the extern on the basis of consultation with professional
colleagues and employees
d. Evaluating the extern’s work on the basis of consultation with
clients
and their families
e. Monitoring the extern’s contribution to professional meetings and
publications, as well as participation in other professional growth
opportunities.
Required Procedures
Role of the Faculty Extern Coordinator
The faculty extern coordinator is a designated faculty member who is responsible for arranging placements and maintaining contact with the extern preceptor. The faculty extern coordinator is responsible for providing guidelines for grading and is available for discussing issues as well as answer questions that may arise during the semester. The faculty extern coordinator may also make onsite visits or telephone contacts during the practicum.
University/Extern Site Contract
A contract between the extern site and the University of Florida must be completed before the extern begins his/her externship.
Student/Extern Preceptor Contract
At the beginning of the externship the student and the extern preceptor should meet to negotiate and sign the student/extern preceptor contract. The faculty extern coordinator may be present during this meeting if desired. The contract should be returned to the University of Florida Communicative Disorders Department by the end of the first week of the externship.
Length of Externship
The externship is defined as no less than 48 weeks of full-time professional employment. A minimum of 30 hours of work per week constitutes full time employment. At least 80% of the externship workweek must be in direct patient contact (assessment, diagnosis, evaluation, screening, habilitation, or rehabilitation) related to the management process. Travel and lunchtime can be included in work hours.
Additional Requirements
Other requirements may be necessary and shall be decided by the extern site. Examples of other requirements are: student liability insurance, CPR certification, and immunizations.
Evaluations
The supervising audiologist will report quarterly on the progress of the student in each area of audiometric diagnosis, rehabilitation (including hearing aid selection and fitting), counseling and appropriate management and referral. The role of the chosen site will be to offer supervision and consultation with the student with regard to his or her clinical activities and to provide feedback on a quarterly basis as to the progress of each student. Quarterly evaluation forms will be provided to each site and are included in this booklet.
Professional Behavior
All information pertaining to any patient is confidential. Students should, at all times, strive to protect the rights of patients. ASHA and AAA Code of Ethics must be maintained at all times.
Dress Code
Students are expected to observe appropriate dress in
compliance
with the policies at the externship site.
Au.D. Program Dress Code

Cardinal
Sins in Au.D. Clinics
| Inappropriate language. |
| Disrespect to preceptor or patient. |
| Taking original patient records out of clinic, or taking out copies of patient records with identifying information (e.g., names, addresses, place of employment, etc.) |
| Unexcused absence. Preceptor must receive written request to be excused from clinic at least two weeks ahead of time, except in the case of family and/or medical emergencies. |
| Tardiness. Students are expected to show up at least 20 minutes prior to the scheduled start time to complete the necessary preparations for that clinic as well as be prepared for scheduled clinical activities. |
| Inappropriate professional appearance and/or dress. |
Comments regarding the Cardinal Sins:
1. All students are informed of these rules at the beginning of the program.
2. First offenses will be brought up before the Au.D. faculty and the student's clinic grade will be dropped one letter grade.
3. After the second offense, the student may be dismissed from the
Au.D.
program.
Au.D. Program Clinic Absence Policy
In order to provide the best clinical experience for our students the following attendance policy is in place:
1. Two absences will be allowed. However, the hours missed must be made up during the semester.
2. If the days are not made up you will receive an incomplete for that semester.
3. If you know in advance that you are going to miss a clinic you need to discuss it with your preceptor. Your preceptor will make the decision whether or not you will be allowed the absence. If it is not an emergency you may not be excused for clinic.
4. When sick, call the front desk and leave a message.
