Course description

This first-of-its-kind webinar provides the SLP an orientation to acute care.  

While this course can be beneficial for novice and experienced SLPs alike, it is geared primarily toward SLPs (and students) who are not familiar with acute care, levels of care, and the SLP's role in this unique healthcare setting.  

You'll leave the course armed with knowledge about intricacies of acute care, how  SLPs fit in to the picture, a deeper understanding of the importance of discharge planning, and more. You'll be empowered with tips and strategies for succeeding in this challenging-- but extremely rewarding-- fast-paced environment.
