A sample of audiologists practicing in the New England states was surveyed about topics of interest for continuing education, desire to obtain a professional doctoral degree, and preferred learning modes for completing continuing education activities and doctoral education. Two hundred sixty-eight completed surveys were returned. Respondents indicated interest in a wide range of continuing education topics, with the greatest amount of interest in areas related to technology. The majority of respondents preferred to complete continuing education activities via traditional, face-to-face programming, whereas most respondents indicated interest in using both traditional and distance-learning methods to upgrade to a professional doctoral degree. Results of the survey also showed that a large proportion of audiologists are undecided about their desire to obtain a professional doctoral degree.
