Clinical Education
Clinical instruction is a vital component of the education of audiology and speech-language pathology students. Through high-quality and dynamic readings, multimedia offerings, and reflective activities, participants will gain a richer understanding of the role of clinical education in graduate programs.
Note: eLearning Courses will sunset on January 1, 2025. Development of alternative clinical educator resources in progress.
CAPCSD developed this series of four, self-paced, eLearning courses focused on the process of clinical education.
- Foundations of Clinical Education - Modules 1-5
- Effective Student-Clinical Educator Relationships - Modules 1-5
- Feedback in the Clinical Education Environment - Modules 1-5
- Assessing Student Performance - Modules 1-5
- Each course contains five independent modules worth CEU hours.
- Each module may be completed independently of the others.
- Modules contain readings, video tutorials, and interactive learning activities.
- Content is at an introductory to intermediate level.
- Courses meet ASHA's Supervision Requirements for Clinical Educators.
- ASHA CEUs are available with the successful completion of each course module.
- Users have 45 days from the date of purchase to complete the courses.
Access Information
These courses are provided at no cost to CAPCSD member programs. Access to these courses is available with a link provided to all CAPCSD members when they log in to their membership at the top of the InfoHub page.
Member programs are encouraged to share access to these resources with individuals engaged in the clinical instruction of graduate students in on-campus and off-campus sites.
If you are supervising graduate students for CAPCSD members, your university liaison has the access link to the eLearning courses. You can identify CAPCSD member universities here and contact the university liaison.
Dissemination Toolkit for Member Programs
CAPCSD is pleased to offer tools for member programs to disseminate information to their clinical preceptors/educators/supervisors about the opportunity to participate in a series of Clinical Education/Supervision eLearning Courses!
Personalize and use these documents to inform your clinical preceptors/educators/supervisors about this opportunity.
Sample documents to help you share the courses with your community clinical educators are available HERE.
Summaries
Course 1: Foundations of Clinical Education
Clinical instruction is a vital component of the education of audiology and speech-language pathology students. Through high-quality and dynamic readings, multimedia offerings and reflective activities, participants will gain a richer understanding of the role of clinical education in graduate programs, with specific emphasis on the role of quality clinical instruction and clinical instructor/student relationships.
Course 2: Effective Student-Clinical Educator Relationships
Effective student-clinical educator relationships are essential for the education of audiology and speech-language pathology students. Through high-quality and dynamic readings, multimedia offerings and reflective activities, participants will gain a richer understanding of the relationship dynamics between clinical educators and their students in graduate programs, with specific emphasis on fostering relationship skills as they pertain to clinical education.
Course 3: Feedback in the Clinical Education Environment
Feedback is a critical component of the clinical education process in audiology and speech-language pathology. Through high-quality and dynamic readings, multimedia offerings and reflective activities, participants will gain a richer understanding of the principles and practice of effective feedback, with specific emphasis on evidence-based approaches to delivering feedback in the clinical learning environment.
Course 4: Assessing Student Performance
Assessment is a key component of the clinical education process in audiology and speech-language pathology. Through high-quality and dynamic readings, multimedia offerings and reflective activities, participants will gain a richer understanding of the principles and practice of effective feedback, with specific emphasis on evidence-based approaches to delivering feedback in the clinical learning environment.
