CD 671 - Practicing Speech-Language Pathology in Medical Settings

Credits: 1 credit
(On-campus only)

There are multiple topics critical to SLP practice in medical settings that are not typically covered elsewhere in the graduate curriculum. Without classroom exposure to current health care issues and related-discipline information (GI, ENT, pulmonary, laboratory), new graduates can find themselves at a disadvantage. The purpose of this course is to introduce students to these issues in order to better prepare them for future clinical work in these environments. Recommended prior coursework is an Aphasia and/or Dysphagia course.
