Interprofessional education (IPE) is an essential part of graduate education in the discipline of communication sciences and disorders (CSD) to prepare future speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to function as full members of interprofessional collaborative practice (IPP) teams and demonstrate the added value contributed by SLPs. This article describes the graduate IPE...
It is always a pleasure to connect with program directors as they consider the ways clinical education fits within the larger structure of a department’s mission and vision. Working in an educational environment has a real “student first” thrust to it, and, it is one that we all understand. Often,...
Clinical Research—Considering Implementation as a Goal Evidence for the efficacy of assessments and treatments of communication disorders has increased over the years; so, too, has the need to learn how to move these protocols into practice. Investigators are becoming increasingly aware of the need and the processes involved in impacting...
For as many years as I have been involved in education of audiology students, the curriculum has been “evolving,” as we like to say at Iowa. Early on, we defined our scope of practice and developed tests and tools of the trade. As technology advanced, and the ethics of our...
The conduct of biomedical research is highly resource intensive, but it is an effort deemed worthy of the expense because the end results—new knowledge, scientific evidence, and benefits to public health—can be trusted. Even when outright advances do not arise from an investigation, the product of research should be trustworthy...
This report describes one collaborative, interprofessional, and interinstitutional project developed to provide clinical educational experiences specifically designed to familiarize students with other disciplines and to teach the teamwork skills necessary for practice in a rural setting. The impetus to begin the program was an outgrowth of discussions within the college...
The p value has evolved as the gold standard for evaluating much of the research evidence in communication sciences and disorders (CSD) and other disciplines. Is reliance on the p value the best approach for evaluating clinical significance, or might subjectivity have a role and value in clinical practice and scientific research?...
Scholarly publishing is about 350 years old, dating back to 1665 with the publication of the propitiously titled Philosophical transactions: Giving some accompt [account] of the present understandings, studies, and labours of the ingenious in many considerable parts of the world(Ware & Mabe, 2015). The scholarly journals of the American...
Importance of Supervisory Training and an Abbreviated History Many of us who are or have been clinical educators or preceptors recognize and support the importance of supervision training for those who supervise our future professionals. The underlying premise is that Supervision is a distinct area of practice and, as such,...
Few can argue with the evidence that supports better outcomes, greater satisfaction, and more cost-effective care as a result of interprofessional collaborative practice (IPP). To prepare students who will soon enter IPP work environments in health care and educational settings, interprofessional education (IPE) is required. From our experiences at MGH...
The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) is the national professional, scientific, and credentialing association for 241,000 members, certificate holders, and affiliates who are audiologists; speech-language pathologists; speech, language, and hearing scientists; audiology and speech-language pathology assistants; and students.
