Abstract

The purpose of this paper was to develop a model for preparing professional audiology personnel in a developing country (Nigeria). Professional audiologists in Nigeria are expected to provide basic and advanced audiologic services in hospitals, special schools for the hearing-impaired and to develop, conduct or supervise hearing conservation programs in regular school settings, industries as well as local government health centers. The competencies expected of students upon completing their professional programs are presented in the form of ‘training modules’ vis-a-vis basic science, medical educational, hearing conservation, aural rehabilitation and clinical practicum. Training implications of the modules are discussed with regards to the promise they hold for the preparation of audiology personnel particularly in developing countries.
