Save the dates for the second and third sessions in the RAISN Q&A series later this summer. Contact us if you are interested in being a panelist for our session focusing on research audiologists in academia.
Be on the lookout for an upcoming ASHA-RAISN collaboration! ASHA will be hosting an Instagram Live event with research audiologists on August 25th (more details to follow). The Instagram Live event will coincide with an ASHA Career Portal article that RAISN members have been collaborating on with ASHA. The article focuses on making the career transition from clinical audiologist to research audiologist.
As part of our efforts to increase awareness of research audiology in our professional organizations, we encourage any of you who are ASHA members with leadership experience to sign up for the ASHA Leadership Mentoring Program. Mentoring is a great way to increase the representation of research audiologists within our field!
