I am not an audiologist. I am a displaced worker in need of a career change. I am looking at the medical area, specifically a technical area. I have a Master's in Comuter Informatin systems. I am trying to identify the better career area to choose, type of schools to take the training, possible cost, duration of school, and possible employers upon graduation.

I would appreciate a kind response.

I am a Hearing Instrument Specialist. Find a licensed person to apprentice under, or a company like Amplifon that pays for your training. They may put you right to work, and you can be making money while you are preparing for your state exam. HIS are licensed by the state. Every state has a hearing aid board, and each state has there own rules and qualifications.

I thought you needed a Au.D to become an audiologist?

I'm interested to know what university you got your degree in and if Canadians have the option of getting their doctorates or being able to practice in Canada. I'm hoping to apply to a MSc soon and that the process won't be too hard!
Thanks,
Tara

I went to UBC in Vancouver. It is a great grad school. You can practise in Canada with an MSc. in Audiology after completing rigorous licensing certification. Check out this website and go to the student's section. It will answer most of your questions.
