Externship: Schools

Catalog description

Student clinicians will engage in advanced clinical practice under supervision of an externship supervisor in a school setting. Students will participate actively in all aspects of service delivery and will accrue at least 100 direct clinical contact hours and at least 150 on-site work hours (the number of work hours required by some states for school/professional educator licensure). They will actively engage with their site mentors to learn about documentation, intervention, diagnostics, referrals, collaboration, and other aspects of the practice of school-based speech-language pathology. Students will reflect on their clinical performance and set personal future vocational goals.
