In the Fall of 2024, the program expanded to include a new satellite site at the U of A Augustana Campus in Camrose.

We are seeking a candidate with clinical expertise in Adult neurogenic communication disorders (i.e., Aphasia, Dysarthria, Apraxia of Speech) and other areas of practice specific to the adult population (e.g., Voice, Resonance, Dysphagia). This position is heavily focused on clinical supervision within the in‑house Corbett Speech‑Language Clinic, with the possibility of supporting students in Advanced Clinical Practica.
