The emergence of, and experiences with, entry-level clinical and professional doctoral degrees has resulted in a wide range of sentiments from clinicians and researchers in the fields of rehabilitation sciences, allied health, nursing, and medicine. These sentiments range from strong support to clear rejection and, in part, relate to (a)...
Undergraduate education in communication sciences and disorders (CSD) provides a solid foundation and pathway for students interested in pursuing careers in audiology, speech-language pathology, and speech, language, and hearing sciences. The value of a bachelor’s degree in the CSD discipline for these career paths is widely acknowledged. In this article,...
Diversity within our country is steadily increasing. Growing numbers of racial and ethnic minorities, as well as individuals emigrating from all parts of the globe, are transforming our country into a more multicultural and multilingual land.

With the movement toward patient-centered care, understanding the patient’s values and perceptions has become an increasingly important part of the health care delivery process (Rao, 2015). Use of patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures is now a common practice in health care, and specifically in rehabilitation settings (de Riesthal & Ross, 2015)....
Advancing Clinical Practice Research in CSD The need for high-quality clinical practice research in communication sciences and disorders (CSD) is far outpacing the growth of the evidence base (McCrea, 2014).

What Are the QIs, and Why Were They Developed? The Quality Indicator (QI) self-assessment tool QI Questionnaire and Action Plan was created to help academic and clinical programs develop a shared understanding of and vision for successful integration of research and clinical practice. The QIs are not standards; the tool is intended...
I remember the day I received my first grant, funded by the National Institute of Deafness and Communication Disorders—even though that day was almost 30 years ago. I was so excited; I made my research assistant dance a can-can with me. I would get release time from courses; I would...
Successful careers in academia start with the sage advice of our mentors and advisors. Many of us can recall hearing friendly reminders, such as, “Negotiate the best teaching load that you can when you start your career; you’ll need time for research” and “Longitudinal studies aren’t the best way to...
