UPMC externs will be provided with experiences that will allow them to develop skills across the scope of audiologic practice in an ENT setting. While each extern is expected to develop a certain set of basic skills, externship experiences are tailored for each individual student based on their interests and preferences. Externs will discuss these expectations in detail with their precepting audiologist.
