Benefits to Students
Students in the ISU Hearing Clinic are able to work with a variety of patients during the on-campus clinical portion of their program. Students typically accrue 30-50 hours of patient contact time each semester. Timely feedback from on-site clinical faculty allows students to gain experience across the age span in a variety of disorder areas. The focus of clinical education is ethical, functional assessment and treatment that enhances clients' day to day lives in work, school, and home settings. Students are given opportunities to work with other disciplines such as occupational and physical therapy, speech pathology, and other related disciplines. Students also gain clinical experiences in affiliated off campus sites such as hospitals, public schools, and private practice.
