| Abstrakt: | Across settings, an increasing number of speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are evaluating and treating dysphagia in patients of all ages. For many students, though, there are few opportunities in an academic setting to apply the knowledge learned in coursework and to develop the hands-on skills needed to become competent clinicians in dysphagia management. For this reason, our team developed a prototype Dysphagia Research Clinic (DRC) at Teachers College of Columbia University. This article summarizes the steps and processes that were completed to establish a specialized in-house DRC within an academic (non-medical based) setting. We begin with a review of the expertise needed, licensure and safety requirements, equipment, space and staffing needs, as well as legal considerations. Then, data on the educational impact of the program on students are presented. Our aim is to provide guidance for other graduate programs that are interested and invested in establishing a similar initiative. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
