Welcome to the Boston Children's Hospital Externship Application Form

The Audiology program at Boston Children's Hospital offers two fourth-year externships lasting from early June until early May of the following year. Externs will receive approximately 11 months of patient care experience under the supervision of licensed audiology preceptors. Applicants should be driven to pursue a career in pediatric audiology following completion of their tenure at Boston Children's Hospital. Externs rotate between three sites in our audiology program. Externs will be exposed to all aspects of pediatric audiological evaluation and case management, including all behavioral audiometry techniques and objective test measures, selection of hearing assistance technology, and determination of educational accommodations for children with hearing loss. The externship year begins with focused training on diagnostic services in our Boston and Waltham locations. Subsequent rotations focus on hearing aid fittings and inpatient services (Boston) and cochlear implant mapping (Waltham). From fall through spring, externs will participate with the LEND program, and will attend the EHDI and Disability Policy conferences. Please complete this questionnaire and submit your application materials in the appropriate field below. We will contact your references directly based on the email addresses you submit below. If you have any questions, please contact charlotte.mullen@childrens.harvard.edu
