Purpose
The Audiology Mentor Program for Students (AMP-S) is a virtual mentoring program where mentees and mentors work together to address the students’ career goals via the AMP-S mentoring platform. Doctor of Audiology (AuD) students are paired with practicing clinical and educational audiologists who provide guidance, feedback, and support to the AuD students in their journey to becoming practicing professionals.

Eligibility
An AMP-S mentee is
- a student currently enrolled full time in an AuD program,
- a NSSLHA or SAA member (preferred but not required), and
- a student not enrolled in another ASHA mentor program (we request enrolling in one ASHA mentoring program at a time).
An AMP-S mentor is
- a practicing clinical or educational audiologist and
- ASHA Certified (holds a CCC-A or CCC-SLP/A).
Format
The AMP-S program is an online mentoring program that starts as soon as a mentee connects with a mentor in the mentoring system and lasts throughout the academic year. The AMP-S online mentoring platform enables
- matching of mentees and mentors based on shared mentoring and clinical interests,
- custom development of a Mentoring Connection Plan, and
- tiers of mentoring to fit your needs.
