Speech Pathology Partnerships

The 藏精阁 SPTH Department’s objective is to help students acquire the knowledge and skills of their discipline through in-depth academic content, structured clinical education experiences and learning assignments. The clinical education component is viewed as a dynamic process where students participate actively in learning to apply academic information to clinical practice while working with clients who have varied types of communication disorders. The goal is to prepare clinicians who demonstrate strengths in the following:  

  • The ability to analyze and synthesize information from a broad base of knowledge in communication science and disorders. 
  • A problem-solving attitude of inquiry and decision-making using evidence-based practice. 
  • Clinical competency in prevention, screening, evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of patients with varied communication disorders  
  • The ability to communicate effectively and professionally  
  • Self-evaluation skills resulting in active steps to develop/refine clinical competencies & extend their knowledge base  
  • Ethical and responsible professional conduct  
  • Skills to work in interprofessional settings

To achieve these goals the following is in place -
