“…Previous studies have investigated examiner bias due to gender in oral exams. 2,3 Research focused on oral exams using a single examiner report mixed results related to gender bias, whereas studies focused on oral exams using pairs of examiners have found evidence of gender bias. [4][5][6][7][8][9] In one study, male/male examiner pairs rated female examinees significantly higher than male examinees compared to other combinations of examiner gender pairs.…”

Background: When oral examinations are administered, examiner subjectivity may possibly affect ratings, particularly when examiner severity is influenced by examinee characteristics (e.g., gender) that are independent of examinee ability. This study explored whether the ratings of the general surgery oral certifying examination (CE) of the American Board of Surgery and likelihood of passing the CE were influenced by the gender of examinees or examiners. Materials and methods: Data collected from examinees who attempted the general surgery CE in the 2016-2017 academic year were analyzed. There were 1341 examinees (61% male) and 216 examiners (82% male). Factorial analysis of variance and logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the effect of examinee and examiner gender on CE ratings and likelihood of passing the CE. Results: Examinees received similar ratings and had similar likelihood of passing the CE regardless of examinee or examiner genders and different combinations of examiner gender pairs (all P values > 0.05). Conclusions: These results indicate that CE ratings of examinees are not influenced by examinee or examiner gender. There was no evidence of examiner bias due to gender on the CE.

“…These warrant caution as they are not universally accepted and have suspect or confirmed flaws. The construct validity, reliability, and actual sustained calibration have been questioned (Smith, Bradham, Chandler, & Wells, 2000; Woods, Pena, & Martin, 2004). Rather than relying on specific equipment-mediated testing, surveys and questionnaires have also been used.…”

Despite receiving increased professional and public awareness since the initial American Speech Language Hearing Association (ASHA) statement defining Auditory Processing Disorders (APDs) in 1993 and the subsequent ASHA statement (2005), many misconceptions remain regarding APDs in school-age children among health and academic professionals. While many disorders account for why a child has difficulty understanding auditory content, this article will provide an overview of the history of APDs, current clinical presentations, distinguish between the common and often coexisting disorders seen in school-age children, and discuss how an audiological evaluation is used to detect the presence of APDs. Using a case method approach, a clinical case scenario describing the elusive nature of APDs, the importance of comprehensive audiological testing, and the interdisciplinary role of health professionals, with emphasis on the distinct role of the school nurse will be highlighted.

“…They must receive adequate education, with multicultural awareness, in order to build knowledge of a variety of culturally appropriate techniques (5,6) . Hence, culturally competent SLPs should be aware of their own values and biases and be sensible to the values and needs of individuals with diverse backgrounds (7) . SLPs must develop a thoughtful and sensitive attitude about cultural background because there are no established solutions for dealing with every situation involving a diverse caseload (8) .…”

Purpose: Academic education in speech-language pathology should prepare students to provide professional services that mirror current knowledge, skills, and scope of practice in a pluralistic society. This study seeks to examine the impact of speech-language pathology (SLP) students prior multicultural experiences and previous formal education on attitudes and beliefs toward language diversity. Methods: A survey to investigate SLP students attitudes toward language diversity was applied. After the research study and instructions to complete the consent form questionnaire was presented by a research assistant, an announcement was given by a graduate student who speaks English as a second language with an accent. The participants then completed a questionnaire containing questions related to attitudes about the presentation of the announcement in particular and toward language diversity in general. Results: Responses suggested a relationship between self-reported cultural bias and ability to concentrate on speech with an accent, and the extent of interaction with individuals from a cultural and linguistic diverse (CLD) background. Additional outcomes revealed that cultural bias may be predicted by factors related to amount of CLD exposure. Conclusion: Results of this study indicated critical areas that need to be considered when developing curricula in speech-language pathology programs. The results will be useful in determining procedures applicable in larger investigations, and encourage future research on attitudes and beliefs toward aspects of cultural diversity.CoDAS 2016;28(5):533-545 Franca MC, Smith LMC, Nichols JL, Balan DS 534
