91WP2: Changes in Training and Use

COL Clyde Byrne

Soldiers with the P2 ASI perform 30 Tasks identified by a Critical Task Selection Board. The 300-P2 Course at the Academy of Health Sciences trains 91W medics to perform these tasks. This presentation will update the audience of Army audiologists on changes in the training that produces the ancillary personnel supporting the clinical and technical activities of Audiology, ENT and Hearing Conservation Centers. The staff has updated equipment and infrastructure, and has migrated all audiology training to the procedures described in Frederick Martin’s recently published Exercises in Audiometry, A Laboratory Manual. New Army audiologists will gain understanding of the training and background of the 91WP2’s working at their installations.
