Publications

Christopher Spankovich ('06), AuD, PhD, MPH, recently published an article in Audiology Today. The article is entitled "Bench to bedside; We ear what we eat."

When reflecting on his time spent at Rush Spankovich said, "The Rush Doctor of Audiology program is a top program in the nation, providing a 'sound' education in clinical audiology. However, the highlight of my time at Rush was the interactions with the faculty and my fellow students, whom I can today not only call my colleagues, but my friends."

Spankovich graduated from the Audiology program in 2006, he is now a research assistant professor with the University of Florida in Gainesville, Flordia. Click here to view a PDF of Spankovich's article.
