The SAA Conference provides in-depth and hands-on education and experiences to supplement audiology program curriculum offered across the nation.
Past topics have included ototoxicity, auditory brain stem implants, pediatrics, cochlear implant candidacy, vestibular testing, salary negotiating, networking opportunities, and more.
Registration and housing open for National SAA Members on November 7, 2023; and on December 5, 2023 for all others.
"Attending the SAA Conference sparked my interest in so many topics that I hadn't previously considered. It's given me a tremendous opportunity to broaden my perspectives, form relationships with AuD students and professionals from around the country, and envision the future of our field. The conference continues to be a highlight of my academic year."
