Externship

Catalog description

During the two enrollments (3 hours per enrollment) of clinical externship, students will participate in experiences that take place outside Piedmont University Speech and Language Clinic. Students will be expected to further develop skills to become independent, thoughtful, analytic, and confident clinicians. Each student will be expected to provide services to individuals with communication and swallowing disorders in a clinical, educational, or medical setting under the supervision of ASHA-certified speech-language pathologists. Externships will include experience with student/client/patient populations across the lifespan, from culturally/linguistically diverse backgrounds, and various types and severities of communication and/or related disorders, differences, and disabilities.
