Hear two conversations about working and studying outside the United States in communication sciences and disorders.

Audiologist/SLP Mershen Pillay from Massey University in New Zealand and audiologist Ishara Ramkissoon from Gallaudet University join the podcast. They discuss a service-learning trip they designed for students from the U.S. traveling to South Africa, and share what the experience revealed about the differences between the community and medical models of health care.

Plus, Chisomo Selemani’s life and work straddle the U.S. and Zambia. The Baldwin Wallace University CSD faculty member shares insights from managing a study-abroad program, and offers questions you might want to ask yourself before working or studying internationally.

This episode was produced in collaboration with ASHA’s International Issues Board and Special Interest Group 17, Global Issues in Communication Sciences and Related Disorders.
