Clinical teaching and supervision procedures, like the actual practices of audiologists and speech-language pathologists, function best when they are based on research as well as concept and theory. The Clinical Education and Supervisory Process in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology is intended to serve as a comprehensive guide to the theory and research, offering the most recent knowledge on these important subjects.

Drs. Elizabeth McCrea and Judith Brasseur have undertaken the effort of compiling significant recent research and best practices in clinical teaching and supervision into a single comprehensive resource, following in the footsteps of their mentor, Jean Anderson. This publication, along with its esteemed contributing writers, is the result of decades of research and industry best practices.

The five distinct constituent groups covered by the Clinical Education and Supervisory Process in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology are clinical educators of graduate students, preceptors of audiology externs, mentors of clinical fellows, supervisors of support staff, and supervisors of professionals moving between work settings. The most recent details regarding certification and accreditation standards for supervision preparation are also included.

Subjects covered include

Appendices to each chapter provide a wealth of supplementary information that readers may use to quickly implement the best practices and approaches that the research has identified. Included are sample scripts for analysis systems, action plan tools, supervisory conference scripts, and self-assessment tools.

It is the goal of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology’s Clinical Education and Supervisory Process to serve as a key resource for anybody working in those fields in any environment who is involved in the clinical education and supervision process. Clinical educators and supervisors will be able to base their practices on the extensive compilation of research and study included inside this work by using it as a guide.
