New Professional Pathway Program

Graduating national SAA members are eligible for the Academy's New Professional Pathway Program!

After graduating with your first doctoral degree in audiology, the Academy will automatically transition your national SAA membership to new professional membership in the Academy when renewals are run for 2025.

To take advantage of this member benefit, national SAA members should verify their graduation year by logging on to their member dashboard and selecting Update My Profile. While there, members can also update their email address from a school or university email to a more permanent email address to maintain timely communications.
