Department of Audiology and Speech Language Pathology

To meet the demand of Audiologists and Speech Therapists, the SRM University have started BASLP course in 2007 in the SRM Medical College Hospital & Research Centre. Every year, the number of Audiologists going abroad is increasing. We started the course to meet the invisible challenge of helping the challenged. Our people oriented approach is well appreciated. Dealing with the speech and language pathology enhances the ability of the impaired to communicate effectively and to interact in various social situations. One batch has successfully completed the entire course and pursuing internship, at present.
