What programs are more medical-based?

[maurmaur]

Hello!

I know it might be easier to email every school, but I was wondering for programs that don't really tell you which way they lean or have placements written out anywhere,

which schools are you aware of that either have more medical based clinical placements or rehabs or are near hospitals you know are possible clinical placements?

And I guess how willing are programs willing to work with you in general in terms of placements?

I'm pretty sure University of Iowa is more med-based, or at least it has more opportunities for that kind of thing because it's a really great medical school and is surrounded by some hospitals !

Otherwise, it's hard to tell bc all programs try to stress that you do both and can learn in both areas.

I'm curious to see if anyone has some good answers to this - I'm more interested in medical settings.

Thanks! My problem is knowing which are medical based without it being obvious or them telling you. Like UW has a MedSLP program for instance but like does ASU have a lot of medical settings you can end up in?

 

i think this thread is the same (either way it's helpful), but I'm not sure

Also I'm pretty sure Purdue allows this as well
