Sweetness! What type of setting? Are they going to pay you?
It is a Speech and Hearing Clinic that is very well established and has been in the area for 30+ years. They do hearing aids, vestib, CAPD testing, newborn hearing tests, and lots of community outreach. They have 4 AuD's and 3 office locations, 1 of which is at a hospital. I love the people that I have talked to there, they are so friendly and laid back. It seems like a great fit for me 🙂
They arent paying, and the reason for that is that the majority of their income is from hearing aids and they dont want to make their externs have to sell a certain number of hearing aids each month to get paid. This keeps the extern from focusing on selling and lets them really focus on the project that they need to complete, and other experiences that dont involve sales such as vestib testing. So I am ok with it.

Major congrats! I hope you will keep us posted throughout the experience. We don't have many externs around here.
Yes it is very nice to have the search and wait over with. I am very excited! Now I only have to make it through comps in March (yak)
Yeah def! I should start in July and go through April
Most of the due dates for applications were Nov 1st-15th, but this place was really on top of their interviews and such so shortly after I turned in my application I had my interviews. If you are a 2nd year I would recommend just keeping your eyes and ears open for externship opportunities because the applications can be pretty intense depending on where you apply--like 3 copies of transcripts and 3 letters of recommendation and always a letter of intent/cover letter and a very nice resume/CV. So it is a lot to work on in a few months if you are prepared for it.
congratulations audball~ it's a very exciting and stressful time indeed. i'm currently an extern and i remember the whole waiting game. sadly, application process for jobs will soon begin again. sigh..
