FOR RELEASE APRIL 5, 2013<\/p>\n

Diversifying the Future for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Healthcare Professionals and Interpreters<\/strong><\/p>\n

Professionals and Students Attend Annual Conference at the Texas School for the Deaf<\/p>\n

Austin, Texas \u2013 April 5, 2013 \u2013 The Association of Medical Professionals With Hearing Losses (AMPHL) brings 150+ participants to Austin today, through Sunday, April 7, for the group\u2019s 2013 Biennial Conference – Diversifying the Future for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Healthcare Professionals and Interpreters, hosted at the Texas School for the Deaf (TSD).<\/p>\n

Participants include specialists, veterinarians, nurses, audiologists, emergency medical technicians, radiologists, as well as medical students and professors \u2013 all with hearing losses working to serve public health care needs. With a forum for networking and an agenda focused on the top issues in healthcare today, conference attendees will meet peers and providers of innovative communication services, and experiment first-hand with the latest in accessible medical technologies.<\/p>\n

AMPHL conference co-chair, Dr. Chris Moreland, who is deaf himself, is a practicing Internal Medicine physician and assistant professor at the University of Texas\u2019 Health Science Center in San Antonio. Moreland relies on the skills of interpreters and uses specialized technology to serve patients and teach students on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis conference, says Moreland, is a wonderful opportunity for deaf and hard of hearing healthcare professionals, students, and interpreters to meet and learn from others in related (medical) fields and explore what\u2019s new and changing in our industry today.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the day, Moreland adds, we are all aiming to improve the quality of service for our patients, support caregivers, and to work better together among ourselves, our colleagues. What we\u2019ll take back to our hospitals, our clinics and our practices, will help us grow as better healthcare<\/span> providers.\u201d<\/p>\n

TSD will also host a special session, Saturday, for high school students from all over Texas who are deaf and hard of hearing. Conference leaders will introduce students to the variety of career opportunities available in healthcare today and demonstrate that their hearing status does not have to limit what they can achieve in medical careers, or in any chosen path.<\/p>\n
