Speech Uncensored: A Speech Pathology Podcast

Kate joins Leigh Ann to unpack the role of podcasts as vehicles to deliver continuing education for busy SLPs. Kate covers inside information on the process of going from providing CMHs to ASHA CEUs for her podcast, SLPNerdcast, and the importance of getting exposed to continuing education outside of our field. Our conversation veers into soapbox territory (the best) and we discuss getting outside of our comfort zones, and the need for an increase in formal mentorship programs for our field. Listen in and catch the “informally informative” vibes. Check out the show notes at: https://www.speechuncensored.com/podcastepisodes/118 for links to the discussion guide and more!
