What is a Speech-Language Pathologist? Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) evaluate, diagnose, and treat patients with communication and swallowing disorders, such as stuttering, autism, articulation and language disorders, language-based learning disorders, reading difficulties, traumatic brain injury, voice and swallowing disorders, aphasia, dementia, and hearing loss. SLPs work with a wide variety of people, from infants to senior citizens, and work in settings such as schools, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, skilled nursing care facilities, private practice, and academia. What is an Audiologist? Audiologists are the allied health professionals who evaluate, diagnose, treat, and manage hearing loss and balance disorders in adults and children. They conduct hearing and balance tests, fit and dispense devises such as hearing aids, and program cochlear implants. Most audiologists earn a Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) degree and work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, private practice and clinics (e.g., Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT); university), schools, military, Veterans’ Administration (VA) hospitals, and government.

Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM) and UH Mānoa Outreach College. This program provides the foundational CSD training required for acceptance into graduate programs for speech-language pathology or audiology in the United States. Introduction to fundamentals of phonetic and phonological development. International Phonetic Alphabet Transcription of English speech sound, phonological developments and models, cultural variations, analysis interpretation, and other considerations related to speech sound development and production. T •Students can complete the seven PCP courses within one year. •After completing the seven PCP courses, students receive a certificate of completion from JABSOM. •Individual courses may also be taken to fulfill particular prerequisite needs. However, all seven courses must be taken to receive the PCP certificate. •Courses are taught by UH CSD faculty from JABSOM. Instructors are available throughout the courses to advise students. •All courses are offered online and can be taken from anywhere in the world. •International students are required to have a minimum TOEFL score of 61 within the past two years. Scores must be submitted no later than one month prior to the start of the term they are enrolling in. •Unlike ASHA CEU courses, which provide continuing education hours after licensure, PCP courses fulfill the CSD specific coursework required to enter graduate school. Overview of anatomy and physiology of speech and hearing, including structures and function of respiration, phonation, resonance, articulation, deglutition, and hearing systems required for normal communication and swallowing. Tuition and Fees $1,338 per course $9,366 for full program of 7 courses CSD 432 Phonetics (3 credits) CSD 433 Speech and Language Development (3 credits) Provides an understanding of children’s acquisition of speech, language, and normal communication development from birth through adolescence. SPRING 2016 (January 11 - May 13, 2016) CSD 434 Acoustics and Psychoacoustics of Speech and Hearing (3 credits) Provides an understanding of fundamental processes underlying the production and perception of speech, as well as the physical and psychological aspects of sound and their measurement.
