In the SLP space alone, there are over 300 kinds of certifications you can achieve in your professional development journey.

While certifications are completely optional and a personal decision based on your goals and current work situation, there are certain standards to consider when browsing your options.

One question to ask yourself is: “Is this certification accredited OR undergoing the accreditation process?”

Creating an accredited certification program is not something one can randomly do or purchase. I know…who would have thought?!

Accreditation is a rigorous, lengthy, and comprehensive process with multiple levels of accountability, subject matter experts, and psychometric methods.

And the MSLP-C™ Certification is months away from being accredited!

Friends, this was a pro cess. 

We have shared a TON about the “why” behind this certification. In this week’s podcast we discuss the “how”! 

Lori Morgan, PhD, CCC-SLP and Manny Straehle, PhD - a psychometrician (and data wizard, in my opinion) - join me to dive into the nitty gritty about the accreditation & certifying exam process for the MSLP™  Certification including:

how accreditation works

Tune in and prepare to be blown away by how much work was done to ensure we are offering the highest quality certification program available to medical SLPs!

What if you could take all of the evidence on aspiration, pneumonia, and dysphagia that has been amassed since the 1990s…

…and package it into a clinical framework for SLPs to make informed decisions about aspiration risk?

Aaron Padilla MS, CCC-SLP, BCS-S and Phyllis Palmer, PhD, CCC-SLP join me on the Swallow Your Pride Podcast to introduce and explain the development of the BOLUS framework - a tool that considers:
