ADVANCING AUDIOLOGY TOGETHER

Our Mission

To develop, maintain and promote national standards for the practice of audiology that are based on current evidence, reflect best practices in the profession, and are universally adopted by practitioners.

About APSO
 
 

Why Create Standards?

Practice standards are the foundation for all areas of clinical practice. Most professions established their clinical practices many years ago and update them regularly to ensure the standards are current. Practice standards along with clinical guidelines give providers a quick reference for their clinical protocols and decision-making without needing to periodically search through new evidence and update their practices accordingly. They also serve as a guide for clinical educators to update their curriculum and ensure that they are teaching to the most current evidence.
