Caregiving for Man with Brain Tumor – if interested, please email Kara Sheridan, MS, CCC-SLP at ksherida@uw.edu 

50-yr old male undergoing treatment for brain tumor.  He is a physician.  He needs help for 2-3 hours a day (preferably in the a.m.) to get his routine going and follow through with his planner.  Impairments are pretty significant in memory.  If there was a grad student interested in providing “care giving” they would be able to also come and observe therapy to carryover strategies in the home.  The family would prefer to hire a grad student (like a nanny or babysitter) that has knowledge of cognitive impairments vs a hired caregiver that likely has no knowledge of cognitive impairments and integrating compensatory strategies in the home.

The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center/Department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery is offering a fourth year externship for Au.D. students. We currently have five audiologists.

In addition to the wide variety of experiences available, we work closely with the Otolaryngology Department and many physicians within the community.

This placement offers the motivated Au.D. extern the opportunity to become proficient in the many areas of Audiology and gain confidence in making treatment decisions.
