SAC's Position Paper on the
Doctor of Audiology Degree (AuD)
|
|
|
Position:
Speech-Language and Audiology Canada endorses the implementation of AuD programs in Canada to train audiologists to meet the expanding scope of practice and clinical requirements that have emerged in audiology, similar to other doctoring professions such as optometry. SAC endorses a thorough analysis of practice and curriculum review to determine if there is a need to change the entry-to-practice level for audiology in Canada. Read the full paper. |

About the Ad Hoc Committee and the Paper Review Process:
SAC's AuD Position Paper Review Ad Hoc Committee began revising this position paper in the spring of 2014. In July 2015, we asked members and associates for feedback, and we also consulted audiologists in Canada who do not belong to SAC as well as other relevant stakeholders. After making further revisions based on the feedback we received, the committee finalized the paper this fall. SAC's Board of Directors approved the final version shortly afterwards.
SAC would like to thank the volunteers on the AuD Position Paper Review Ad Hoc Committee for their hard work on this position paper:
Sharen Ritterman, AuD, Aud(C), Committee Chair
Charlotte Douglas, AuD, Aud(C)
Philippe Fournier, M.Sc.S., Aud
Victoria McLeod, M.CI.Sc., Aud(C)
Jillian Mills, AuD, Aud(C)
