Having problems with message search?
Jessica:
I concur w/ Jayna's comments about UNC Chapel Hill's program. I'm a faculty member there (profound hearing loss - bilateral BTEs) - we also have another clinical supervisor who is moderately HOH (w/ a Hearing eared Dog), and our business administrative secretary is deaf w/ a CI. We have a recently funded US Dept of Education training grant that is looking to fund minorities interested in pediatric audiology, this includes deaf/HOH individuals. Our webpage is being updated, but if you check in from time to time, you can learn more about our program. www.med.unc.edu/ahs/sphs
I"m sorry this is brief - I"m home sick. Please feel free to email me if you have questions about our training program.
