The American Academy of Audiology has a long-standing history of developing clinical practice guidelines and strategic documents to provide members with guidance on topics relevant to audiological care, translate the best available evidence into clinical practice, improve patient care and outcomes, and inform public policy and research directions.
The Academy’s Guidelines and Strategic Documents Committee oversees and directs the development of clinical practice guidelines and strategic documents in consort with the Board of Directors and the Scientific Advisory and External Relations Council. Ultimately, the ability to develop guidelines and strategic documents relies on the expertise and invaluable support of Academy members.
When a document topic is prioritized, a chair and writing group members are assembled to research the evidence and draft the document. Members are encouraged to volunteer to participate in document development on topics for which they have specific interest and proficiency. If you would like to serve on a clinical practice document writing committee or as a reviewer, you can submit your CV and statement of interest by visiting the Academy’s Practice Guidelines and Standards website.
