Since GSS 2009, the Education Committee has been hard at work implementing some of the recommended outcomes. We offer thanks and gratitude for the efforts of the Education Committee, particularly Maureen Valente, cochair.

Some of these outcomes include:

• Development of a clinical competencies document (in progress)
• Development of a survey re: PhD students/programs (in progress)
• Development of a process/mechanism for sharing clinical education resources (in progress)
• Development of a special supplement of the Journal of the American Academy of Audiology on evidence-based instruction (in progress)
• Developed an audiology education column in Audiology Today
• Established a new Subcommittee of the Education Committee: Research in Audiology Education

GSS Task Force

The Academy has recently formed a GSS Action Items Task Force to respond to additional action items generated by the Gold Standards Summit. Jacque Georgeson, AuD, audiology clinic director at San Diego State University has agreed to chair this critical task force. Stay tuned for updates on the task force’s work.
