Children's Healthcare of Atlanta has been recognized in the Best Children's Hospitals ranking by U.S. News & World Report. In addition to gaining clinical experience, CHOA is partnering with the Ga LEND (Georgia Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities) Program at Georgia State University.

Ideal externship candidates will be motivated, flexible, and have a strong interest in pediatric audiology. The extern will receive a well-rounded training from highly skilled audiologists, as well as collaborating with other teams such as Otolaryngology, Craniofacial, and inpatient services. The Ga LEND program is a two-semester interdisciplinary training experience to prepare future leaders to provide coordinated, culturally competent, and family-centered care to children and families.
