About Us

Welcome back to the PulseTone! This is the 12th installment of the New Professional’s e-newsletter.  You can find the previous iinstallments here. We know you are busy and receive many emails so we promise to keep this short but informative.

Wait a second – who is ‘we’?

“We” is the New Professionals Committee.  We’ve been around for a few years now, and are tasked with identifying and promoting the needs of New Professionals within the Academy.  Communication is a two-way street, and we want to improve our connections with all of our fellow NPs.

Have You Heard?

  • AAA 2021 Virtual offers two and a half days of educational content, networking, activities, gamification, and expo hall connections. Important dates to keep in mind:
    • Conference: April 14-16, 2021
    • Registration is now open
    • See what’s been scheduled including featured sessions and grand rounds.
  • COVID-19 Vaccination Resources
    • USA Today posted an article discussing state-by-state vaccination plans. Find your state’s plan.
    • Stay on top of the latest news and tips with the Academy’s COVID-19 Updates as we continue to work through the pandemic together.
  • At this point, we are well aware that our patients are continuing to struggle communicating in a masked world. We have seen a wide variety of mask styles including disposable surgical, homemade cloth, and clear plastic shields to list a few. Check out postdoctoral researcher Ryan Corey’s latest work evaluating how different masks affect the acoustics of speech.

Need to Know

March 3 is World Hearing Day. This year’s theme is, “Hearing care for ALL! Screen. Rehabilitate. Communicate.” Visit the Academy’s website for resources, sample social media posts and graphics, to spread the message.
