CSD faculty should attend this webinar to explore a practical framework for integrating social determinants of health (SDOH) into existing curricula without overhauling their programs. Participants will learn how to align instruction with Bloom’s Taxonomy to move students from awareness of social drivers of health to higher-level clinical reasoning and application.
Tuesday, September 29, 2026
6:00 PM – 7:30 PM ET
.15 ASHA CEUsSocial determinants of health (SDOH) are non-medical upstream and downstream factors that shape overall health, including communication health and well-being. While public health evidence offers valuable insight into these influences, training future Audiologists (AuDs) and Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) as epidemiologists or public health specialists is not practical. Instead, CSD programs can prioritize developing clinicians’ awareness and responsiveness to SDOH. This presentation introduces a comprehensive framework for embedding SDOH into academic and clinical training, intentionally aligned with Bloom’s Taxonomy to support progressive learning. The framework scaffolds student development from foundational knowledge (remembering and understanding SDOH concepts), to application and analysis through case-based learning and clinical decision-making, and ultimately to evaluation and creation via reflective practice and community-engaged experiences.
Learning Objectives
- Describe SDOH concepts and how to align these concepts with current SLPs and AuDs competencies.
- Identify public health evidence that could inform CSD practices and describe how to integrate such evidence into data-driven clinical decision making and training in CSD.
- Discuss mechanisms to enhance student understanding of SDOH by leveraging program strengths.

Attendees will learn tangible ways to utilize feedback mechanisms and how to best prepare the clinical supervisors associated with their clinical education programs to utilize the feedback tool.
Feedback is the most powerful and diverse tool supervisors use when providing clinical instruction, guidance, and mentorship; however, it is also the most misused tool. Feedback is not a “one size fits all” approach but one impacted by factors such as generational differences, purposeful application of learning theories, and should be provided with the intent and purpose to encourage the development of clinical expertise and clinical reasoning skills. This session will discuss feedback methodology through the lens of learning theory, supervision frameworks, and aspects of generational differences. Attendees will learn tangible ways to utilize feedback mechanisms and how to best prepare the clinical supervisors associated with their clinical education programs to utilize the feedback tool.
Learning Objectives
- Identify a supervision style and a feedback methodology on each stage of a supervision continuum.
- Name three types of feedback to use in order to effectively communicate and navigate difficult clinical conversations with a student.
- Examine at least two generational trends which shape our feedback and impact our approach to mentorship.

Abstract
The education of audiologists and speech-language pathologists is dependent upon clinical instruction that is provided in an effective, evidence-based manner. The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) recognizes clinical supervision as a distinct area of clinical practice. It requires those serving as clinical educators/supervisors/preceptors to engage in formal training to gain the specialized knowledge and expertise needed to serve effectively in this role. They must have at least 9 months of full time / part time equivalent clinical experience prior to supervising a student and must complete a minimum of 2-hours of professional development in clinical instruction. It is recognized that clinical educators/supervisors/preceptors commit to ongoing learning to grown and refine their skills in clinical education. This course discusses a variety of key issues central to becoming an effective, evidence-based clinical educator/supervisor/preceptor. By completing the six modules in this course, learners will explore basic principles and obligations of clinical education. They will be introduced to evidence-based strategies for effective clinical instruction. Learners will examine the importance of effective communication, feedback and relationship building to the clinical education process. They will consider their obligation for ethical and culturally responsive engagement. Learners will have opportunities to reflect on how principles and techniques discussed in the course can be integrated into their own work in clinical education.
