AFA Student Otoscope Program Now Open

Lafayette, IN -The Audiology Foundation of America (AFA) is again offering its "Clued into Audiology" otoscope program for third-year Au.D. students. "Clued into Audiology" will be open through March 21, 2007, and requires students to read several articles and complete a short quiz to earn an otoscope.

Only third-year students in four-year Au.D. programs are eligible to participate, and otoscopes will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.

Widex donated $15,000 in otoscopes for the "Clued into Audiology" program this year, which directly assists the AFA in its work to support Au.D. students and the Au.D. movement.

"This program helps Au.D. students learn something of the history of the Au.D. movement by reading important articles that have been written throughout the transition," said AFA Executive Director Susan Paarlberg. "It gives them a sense of where audiology has come from, where it's headed, and what the important milestones have been."

Interested students can find the quiz, and further information, by visiting the AFA website at https://audfound.org/.

The AFA is a non-profit foundation founded in 1989 to lead audiology's transition to a doctoring profession with the Au.D. as its unique designator.
