Zink, t the American Director of the | Health Ministry Speech and Hearing _ Division, has rarely ever his _ position openings in Canada, but-has ongoing advertisements in and Hearing Journal. _ addition, he recruits. actively at American universities. Canadians, __ particularly U.B.C. graduates, need not even apply for a position with the Ministry of - Health. U.B.C. graduates rarely ever | receive acknowledgement. of their applications from the Ministry of Health, let alone a formal notice of rejection. . In response to recent public outcries over these Health Ministry hiring policies, the Hon. R. Mc- Clelland stated that Cana- dian graduates in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology and particularly U.B.C, graduates receive inferior training and that he could, therefore, not hire them. 1 Career in ‘Cosmetice! 4 lester, British’ Colhimbia | almost’ exclusively “ -U.B.C. _actually started new Speech- Language | programs in B.
