Clinical Fellowship Year Abroad

[britantoin]

I was wondering if anyone can help me. I am graduating grad school soon with a major in Speech-Language Pathology. I am looking to do my clinical fellowship year abroad in Australia; however, I need to be under the supervision of an SLP who is ASHA certified so that I can get my CCC. I contacted both ASHA and SPA but both organizations do not keep track of SLPs in Australia who are ASHA certified. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to find an SLP in Australia who is ASHA certified? I would greatly appreciate any information about this!

I have some guesses - but nothing concrete. 

Try looking for educational institutions that offer SLP (Comm Dis) studies - I´m sure friendly faculty would be aware of who is working in their communities. Try looking in American ExPat groups in Australia. Perhaps look as if you were someone looking for some sort of SLP service and as you call / email mention you´re looking for American SLP´s? Try not to sound like you´re being discriminatory though, haha! 

Let us know how it works out!

@mcamp Thanks for the advice! I found an American ExPat group in Sydney and have reached out to them. Also going to take your advice and reach out to faculty at an institution in Australia that offers Communication Disorders Studies. I really appreciate your help.

Are you on the Speech Pathologists At Large Facebook group? There may be one there you can reach out to directly.

@Schatzie15 I actually don't have my facebook anymore, but I would consider making a new one for this. Thanks for the suggestion!

i would work backwards, find people who you want to work with and check them against this asha CCC checker
