Masters’ students in rural hospitals: Providing assistance and receiving real-world education
The Pennsylvania Office of Rural Health places Penn State Master of Health Administration students in internships with hospitals and other health care providers across Pennsylvania. Students provide support and expertise to rural hospitals, and, in return, they receive a diverse set of real-world learning experiences.
Working to enrich the lives of others through research and outreach
The three-legged stool: service, education, and research
The Speech, Language, and Hearing Clinic has always served the community, but it also contributes to Penn State’s research and educational missions. The research and education conducted through the clinic have, in turn, improved the services available to the public.
A Legacy of Service
Penn State’s Speech, Language and Hearing Clinic has been serving Pennsylvanians with communication and audiological needs for more than nine decades. The clinic provides central Pennsylvania and the entire Commonwealth with unique and important services that help people communicate and, ultimately, build connections with others.
