National Survey of Simulations in CSD
What is it about?
This article reports on a survey of undergraduate and graduate university programs in the US offering degrees in speech-language pathology and audiology. Results suggest an emerging use and acceptance of simulations for clinical training.
Why is it important?
Many other fields, including medicine, aviation, nursing and military have embraced technology for training purposes. The fields of speech-language pathology and audiology have been slower to implement simulations such as online case studies, mannequins and virtual reality to train the up-and-coming members of these fields. This paper explores how university programs in the United States are currently using simulations to train Communication Sciences and Disorders students.
