slptobe92 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I volunteered with a medical SLP one summer and it was a great experience! I also visited NYMC and loved it. I think you're on the right track! Also try seeing if any hospitals near you are hiring newborn hearing screeners! It's a great way to hospital experience and make extra money.

esopha Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Pittsburgh has a medical focus, I think. I remember seeing it mentioned on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only able to do it for a month but in my case no, I don't think so. All the training was provided on-the-job. jmk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
