By the completion of the externship, students will be expected to demonstrate increasing independence and competency in diagnostic audiology, hearing aid services, patient counseling, clinical documentation, and professional communication. Externs will work toward developing the clinical judgment, technical skills, and confidence necessary for a successful transition to independent practice as an audiologist.
In addition to clinical competencies, externs will gain exposure to the business and operational aspects of hearing healthcare, including patient relationship management, community outreach, practice growth, and delivering an exceptional patient experience.

Prior to beginning the externship, students should have completed coursework and clinical experiences that provide foundational competency in diagnostic audiology, patient communication, documentation, and hearing aid fundamentals. Students are not expected to be fully independent clinicians; rather, they should demonstrate a willingness to learn, accept feedback, and continue developing their clinical skills under the guidance of experienced preceptors.
