Spring Break 2024 Participant
My favorite part was testing my skills in knowledge in completing speech and language evaluations in the schools. We were not sure what kids we were going to meet, so we always had to be ready to test our knowledge on their needs.

Studying abroad helped me gain a better understanding of the state of hearing healthcare in a developing country and how different cultures approach hearing loss. I believe that developing cultural sensitivity and diversity is an essential skill for a healthcare provider.

Spring Break 2024 Participant
Something small I learned in the program is the importance of letting the parents be even more involved in the initial activation of hearing aids. Usually when hearing aids are activated, we as audiologists start asking the patient about the sound quality they're receiving. Our professor advised that we make more of a conscious effort to have the children's parents do the initial communication following the activation of their child's hearing aids.
