To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Audiology programs, we asked alumni, faculty, and students about their reflections on the program. Here is what they had to say:
Adam Perez ‘27AUD
I chose the (Doctor of) Audiology program at Salus University (Osborne College of Audiology) because I believe choosing an institution is important for your future success. I enjoy the fact that Salus offers early clinical experience and a lot of conceptual, hands-on work.
What drew me closer to Salus was the cohort size and the ratio of professors to students. That really caught my attention knowing that I was going to get more personalized, one-on-one time with each of the doctors and professors here. I definitely feel like I'm getting that here.
Audiology is something I've wanted to do ever since I was in my second year of my undergraduate program. I really like that it's a non-invasive clinical approach to assistive medicine. I like being able to help people communicate and to be not only heard, but understood.
I've been in the clinic (the Pennsylvania Ear Institute) for approximately 15 to 20 hours so far. Over the course of the program, the clinical hours get more and more built up upon each other. I like being able to interact with the patients and get that experience that I know I'm going to be using when I get out into the profession.
