later integration of normal function and pathological changes in specific organ systems with normal and abnormal conditions as they may impact the auditory and vestibular systems. This module includes an integrated approach of pharmacology at the systemic level by emphasizing the role of pharmacological agents in the management of systemic conditions, and their possible impact on the auditory and vestibular systems, especially that of ototoxic drugs. The presentation of normal and abnormal hearing and balance conditions will occur in the second year.

Module 2 includes the following second year courses: Integrated Organ Systems 1 and 2 and Pharmacology.

MODULE 3: Integrative Auditory and Systemic Disease The focus is the structural and functional aspects of the auditory system from the outer ear to the inner ear, including the temporal bone. The module presents the development, anatomy, histology, physiology and biochemistry of the auditory system, relating structure to function.

Module 3 includes the following first year courses: Auditory Biology 1 and 2.

MODULE 4: Integrative Neuro-Auditory Sciences Human anatomy of the head and neck forms the foundation for future courses. It emphasizes anatomical relationships which support clinical application, including an emphasis on auditory and vestibular anatomy and related function. The peripheral nervous system, imaging, and the relationship of the head and neck to organ systems are important parts of the course.

Module 4 includes the following first year courses: Head and Neck Anatomy; Neurosciences.

MODULE 5: Audiometric Principles and Management of Hearing and Vestibular Problems Includes basic and theoretical coursework in areas concerned with the diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of hearing and balance disorders. Module 5 topic areas are arranged to coincide with applicable clinical skills activities experienced in Module 6.

Module 5 includes the following first, second and third year courses: Acoustics and Acoustic Phonetics; Aging and Management of the Geriatric Patient; Audiometric Principles 1 and 2; Auditory Rehabilitation; Auditory Evoked Responses 1,2 and 3; Auditory Processing Disorders; Calibration; Cerumen Management; Cochlear and Brainstem Implants; Educational Audiology; Hearing Conservation and Industrial Audiology; Hearing Technologies 1, 2 and 3; 93
