Past ANCDS Student Fellows
The fellowship is open to currently-enrolled, full time speech-language pathology master’s and doctoral students, and other students specializing in clinical neurologically-based communication disorders and sciences (e.g., neuroscience students). Fellows are matched with an ANCDS member who has similar research and clinical interests. The ANCDS member acts as a mentor throughout the day-long Scientific and Business Meeting, introducing the fellows to others and offering opportunities to discuss research and clinical issues.
