(2 credits) AUD 7030—Aging and the Auditory/Vestibular System United Kingdom Program Only: Students will be provided with an overview of gerontology with emphasis given to differentiation between the normal aging process and pathological changes related to auditory and vestibular disorders. (2 credits) AUD 7031—Geriatric Audiology This course will provide students with an overview of gerontology. A holistic approach to patient care encompassing biological, social, psychological, and cultural aspects related to aging will be considered. Analysis of day-to-day functioning of the aging patient, particularly related to sensory changes, will be covered. An emphasis will be placed on differentiation between normal aging processes and pathological processes. (1 credit) AUD—7051 Research Methods in Audiology II This course provides a detailed study of research design, data collection, analysis, and evaluation. The breadth and depth of clinical research is explored as students gain practice in accessing, evaluating, and designing medical, allied health, and other scientific literature to support clinical decision-making, patient- and family-centered care, and quality improvement efforts in the provision of audiological services. (3 credits) AUD 7070—Pharmacology for Audiologists United Kingdom Program Only: In this course, students are presented with the classes of drugs used in clinical practice with emphasis on activity, mode of action, side effects, toxicity, and drug interactions as they relate to auditory and vestibular function.
