Course Information

Course Description

Success in Supervision in Medical Placements meets the ASHA CEU requirements for supervisor and clinical fellow mentors in supervision and clinical instruction. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) may be reluctant to take on students and clinical fellows due to imposter syndrome, time constraints, and/or burnout. This self-study course will address those concerns and build a foundation for success, as well as outline the benefits of supervising/mentorship for the SLP.  The presenter also provides tools and resources to develop your leadership skills, soft skills, and prepare to take on a student in the medical placement with a focus on dysphagia. This course includes two parts: 1).  required reading (the time spent reading is included in the overall ASHA CEU count) and 2.) six short video presentations.
