Graduate Program
Clinical Practicum
First-year graduate students obtain clinical practicum experience in the new, state-of –the art, OSU Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic located in Murray Hall, or in the OSU-Tulsa Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic. Students work with a variety of patients representing a range of communication disorders across the life span.
During the second year of graduate school, students complete classes during the first eight weeks of each semester, and then participate in an eight to ten week full-time off-campus clinical rotation. A variety of sites reflecting the wide range of work settings available to the SLP are potential practicum placements and include medical centers, rehabilitation and skilled nursing facilities, outpatient and private clinics, and schools. These sites allow student clinicians to widen their clinical experience base through varied service delivery systems and patient exposure.
