Below are the practica and internship requirements for the Core SLP program. The emphasis path chosen by each student determines his/her practica plan and scheduling. Practica are typically completed in the UW Speech and Hearing Clinic.

All students are required to complete the internship they are assigned. Students may be placed in a public school internship or in a non-school, community-based clinic or hospital setting. If prospective students wish to complete internships in acute care/inpatient medical facilities, they should consider the MedSLP program as a first choice.

The pre-internship/internship experience may occur in either Winter & Spring or in Spring & Summer of the second year. If students complete an internship during the Spring Quarter, they must return in Summer Quarter to complete required clinical practica at the UWSHC. These summer practica will not be waived and students are expected to be available throughout the entire Summer Quarter.

*Students may choose either 552BII or 552D according to their interests/emphasis path.

Important Note: Students will need to provide their own transportation for the pre-internship and internship. Internship Coordinators cannot guarantee placements that will be close to a student’s home nor can the Coordinators guarantee that the sites will be accessible to students via public transportation.
