How are the 2000 hours of mentored professional practice or experience defined?
For someone in an AuD program, the 2000 hours are the same as the residency year. It is equal to a 12-month year of full-time audiology work. “Mentored” means that you have an experienced audiologist who is consistently available to help, answer questions and in effect, supervise you throughout that period. The mentor must be a licensed and/or ABA certified audiologist.
