Fourth Year Au.D. Externship

Johnson City signThe Audiology Service at the James H. Quillen VAMC in Mountain Home, Tennessee is pleased to offer Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) externship positions. Audiology students may apply for a clinical or hybrid clinical/research track. Fourth year externs will have the opportunity to solidify essential clinical skills while serving Veterans in the beautiful east Tennessee region. Hybrid externs will also work with investigators dedicated to advancing auditory and vestibular research.

Clinical experiences in the Audiology Service will include hearing evaluations, physiological assessment (auditory brainstem response, otoacoustic emissions), amplification fitting and follow-up, cochlear implant candidacy evaluation and mapping, and tinnitus assessment and counseling. Opportunities will also be available for experience in the areas of vestibular assessment and intervention. Participation in the vestibular clinic is contingent upon each student’s knowledge and skills and/or successful completion of an onsite vestibular course. Clinical externs will work full time seeing patients in the James H. Quillen VAMC Audiology clinic.

Strong externs with an interest in research may be considered for participation in the auditory and gait & balance research labs. Assignment to a particular project will depend upon each student’s interest and availability of a training position on the project of interest. Visit our staff page to learn more about their current research projects.
