This webinar addresses the current state of medical SLP externships from a university perspective. Presenters share examples of successful integration and supervision in pediatric and adult medical settings. They offer evidence-based, practical suggestions for supervision training and strategies that ensure the integrity of the profession and the delivery of quality, culturally responsive services to patients. The webinar also includes a student’s perspective regarding supervision across the continuum from graduate studies to clinical fellowship.

This webinar is part of the SIGnature Series, a collection of webinars developed by volunteers from ASHA’s Special Interest Groups, who share practical, evidence-based suggestions and solutions based on their in-depth knowledge, clinical experiences, and passion for their specialty areas. This webinar was developed by SIG 10: Issues in Higher Education. View all the SIGnature Series courses, available through the ASHA Learning Pass subscription or for a la carte purchase.
