Our entire staff strives to make the experience as personal and efficient as possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Student Clinical Training<\/h3>\n<p>Since 1969, the UNC HCC has not only provided care to the community, but it has also served as a training facility to students in the Doctor of Audiology program at UNC-Chapel Hill. Each student has a clinical placement at the HCC during their training program. Our board-certified audiologists provide hands-on clinical opportunities while illustrating nationally recommended protocols.<\/p>\n<h3>Forward-Thinking Pricing<\/h3>\n<p>Our nationally recognized, itemized (unbundled) model sets us apart from other clinics.
