Your Path to Peds: Preparing for a Future in Pediatric Audiology

Pediatric audiology is more than working with children, it is a specialty that requires intentional training, adaptability, creativity, and an understanding of the unique needs of children and families. “Your Path to Peds” will help students explore what it takes to become a pediatric audiologist, why highly trained pediatric providers are needed now more than ever, and how to seek out experiences, advocate for meaningful pediatric training, and build a strong foundation for a future in pediatric audiology.

This VES is FREE and open to all audiology students.
