The criteria listed above are program minimums. The Audiology Program adheres to the minimum guidelines for doctoral and master's graduate education at the University of Louisville School of Medicine. Students meeting these criteria are not guaranteed admission.

Applications should be completed on-line.

We welcome all applicants. Please call us at 502-852-5274 or contact us online for more information.

II. Clinic Prerequisites

The student must have current CPR certification, malpractice insurance, HIPAA training (both clinical and research) and a TB test on file before being allowed to see patients in the clinic.  If any of the above expires and the student does not provide evidence of renewal, (s)he will be suspended from patient care activities until evidence of currency is provided.  If suspended, students will not be allowed to count any clinical hours during that time.  This may affect the grade assigned for that rotation.  Note: Some clinic sites might require additional vaccinations or training. Consult your supervisor.

The University of Louisville requires you submit a form documenting your immunizations. See Health Professional Student Immunization Requirements to obtain immunization form ("Immunization Tracking Form").
