Clinical Rotations

Seattle is a regional medical center, serving patients from a four-state area (Washington, Alaska, Montana, Idaho), resulting in a wealth of diverse clinical experience. Students may choose to complete their full-time placements elsewhere in the U.S. or even internationally. In recent years, UW audiology students have completed clinical rotations as far away as New Zealand. The program clinical practicum coordinator meets regularly with AuD students to assist them in selecting placement sites appropriate to their training goals and interests. The affiliated facilities provide services across the life span, from birth-to-three to geriatric populations. Local clinical placement options include:
   
Medical Audiology
