International opportunities for speech language pathologists and audiologists are on the rise. Opportunities range from single trips offering clinical services to long-term commitments including developing speech-language treatment programs in developing countries. This article provides a brief overview of the types of international programs available. It then focuses on international opportunities for speech-language pathology students with a particular focus on the authors' international programs in Bolivia and Ghana.
