A position is offered for a fourth year AuD. student to apply their audiological studies and experience the real world: hearing evaluations, electrophysiology knowledge and skills for patients from infant to late in life.
Training and monitoring of students will continue during their stay in our multidisciplinary office of otolaryngologists, nurse practitioners, allergy, hearing aid specialists and audiology support staff.
There is a potential for a permanent position.
Why Wyoming? Wyoming has wide-open spaces in the high desert plains to mountain tops. Sporting activities range from fly-fishing blue-ribbon waters, mountaintop pools, trail riding, hiking, skiing (both cross-country and downhill). Casper, Wyoming is centrally located with 4-hour drives to Denver, CO, Billings, MT, and Rapid City, SD. From restaurants, museum, gun ranges, and bowling alleys…there is a little bit of something for everyone in the Cowboy State. Just bring your sense of adventure.
The candidate we are looking for must like working with others in high pressure situations, think on their feet, and consider the patient and their family as the most important part of our daily process. Laughter and sense of humor is always welcome. Anticipation and a good plan to finish our work day on a high note is paramount. Please consider asking us questions about this special opening. Thank you.
