Clark\, PhD \nDuration: 60 minutes \nCEUs: 0.10 AAA/Tier 1 \nInstructional Level: Intermediate \nProgram Focus: Knowledge \nLearning Outcomes: Upon completion\, each participant in the eAudiology Web Seminar will be able to: \n\nIdentify at least 3 cultural characteristics that could define a group\nList the two major concepts of time\nDescribe what is Cultural Destructiveness\nProvide an example of someone who has high uncertainty avoidance\n\nThough the U.S. Census of 2020 recorded only 7.4 percent increase in the resident population compared to one decade ago\, there is a diverse population growing in general\, as well as generationally. A richer and greater diversity is seen in the post-Gen-Z and -Gen-Z generations in comparison to lesser diversity in the pre-Boomer generation. In fact\, the increased diversity within the younger generations is more than half of the U.S. population younger than age 16 and identified as a racial or ethnic minority. Such increased diversity will translate into clinicians meeting patients of cultures unlike their own. \nOn some occasions\, health-care professionals may find themselves unprepared for the interactions\, and consequently may mis-interpret behaviors (or lack of) during the interactions; or experience some embarrassing communication breakdowns. These breakdowns could ultimately result in poorer clinical outcomes. It is increasingly important for clinicians to become sensitive to cultural differences that exist to mitigate significant cultural mismatches and ultimately communication breakdowns. \nThis webinar presentation will delve into some basic cultural parameters (e.g.\, collectivism/individualism\, monochronicity/polychronicity\, etc.)\, as well as anticipated gender/age roles; all of which are important to integrate during clinical interactions. \nView Event URL:https://www.audiology.org/event/cultural-awareness-in-audiology/ LOCATION:Virtual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.audiology.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/eaudiology-event-header-min.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210629T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210629T190000 DTSTAMP:20260403T160221 CREATED:20230328T175624Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230328T175624Z UID:57329-1624989600-1624993200@www.audiology.org SUMMARY:2021 Membership Meeting DESCRIPTION:2021 Virtual Membership Meeting\nJune 29\, 6:00-7:00 pm ET \nThe virtual membership meeting featured reports from Academy leadership\, including a message from the Academy President\, Angela Shoup\, PhD\, advocacy updates; diversity\, equity\, and inclusion initiatives; and an opportunity for attendees to ask questions and engage with the leadership. \nReview the Meeting Summary \nQuestions about the membership meeting can be sent to membership@audiology.org.
