CAA is excited to offer our members expanded resources, courses and online content through our international partnership with the Ida Institute. The IDA Institute was founded in 2007 as an independent non-profit organization with the mission to advance family and person-centred for hearing health care. Their website offers a variety of online tools for audiologists, families, students and people with hearing loss.
In 2017, the Ida Institute introduced an eLearning centre where audiologists can learn, interact and share knowledge. This aligns with CAA’s mission to provide educational and innovative support for our members. CAA will also be offering CEUs for successfully completing endorsed course content on the IDA platform.
CAA Members please join us in welcoming the IDA Institute with an article called “The IDA Institute: Advancing person-centered hearing care” (you will need to log into the CAA website first).
