PURPOSE: The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) presented new and unanticipated challenges to clinical training including Doctor of Audiology graduate programs. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of COVID-19 on audiology clinical training experiences in the United States.
METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was administered to Directors of Clinical Education, preceptors, and students on their final year of clinical training (externs) during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic (Nov 2021-Mar 2022).
RESULTS: 70% of Directors of Clinical Education reported a decrease in the number of available options for off-campus clinical placements. Preceptors noted a decrease (40%) in the number of days their clinic was willing to take a student as well as a decrease (37%) in the number of working hours for students. There was also a notable decrease in the number of externship (40%) and internship (53%) positions offered. Most externs agreed that the COVID-19 pandemic increased their stress level in various aspects including the externship experience, meeting deadlines, and financially.
CONCLUSION: This study provides educational insights regarding the challenges in clinical education during COVID-19 that need to be addressed to improve clinical experiences for students and adapt new methods in similar challenging situations in the future.
