National SAA is is proud to present a special Virtual Education Series lecture on Forensic Audiology featuring Christopher Spankovich, AuD, PhD, MPH. This engaging session will explore the intersection of audiology and the legal system, highlighting the role of audiologists in occupational noise exposure cases, medico-legal consultation, expert testimony, and hearing conservation standards. Attendees will gain insight into real-world applications of forensic principles, ethical considerations, and the expanding opportunities for audiologists in legal and public health arenas.
Join us for an informative discussion that broadens the scope of clinical practice and showcases how audiology extends beyond the clinic and into the courtroom.
