    I am deeply committed to primary care and preventive medicine. In addition to patient care, this includes helping train and mentor the clinicians of tomorrow. For many years I have been a clinical practitioner and student preceptor in clinic, now I am transitioning to the classroom. I am optimistic that my 25+ years of experience in family medicine and community-based care, will be an asset to the landscape of didactic teaching and mentoring in the UNC PA program.

    Email: julia_drouin@med.unc.edu
    My research program examines factors that optimize spoken language development in individuals with normal hearing and listeners with hearing loss. I’m interested in the perceptual mechanisms that support spoken word understanding for listeners adapting to degraded speech signals, with a focus on cochlear implantation. My research program uses both a basic science approach and a clinical translational approach. As a researcher, I am committed to making research accessible to scientists, clinicians, and the general public and I use the Open Science Framework whenever possible. In addition to research, I teach the Pediatric Assessment course for first year Au.D. students and the Research Methods course for Au.D. and SLP students.
