WHAT WE DO
Acute SLP Education delivers clinically-relevant education to frontline acute care Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) and aspiring clinicians. We integrate traditional SLP training with the medical knowledge vital to acute care practice.
All courses are taught for acute care SLPs, by acute care SLPs and are peer-reviewed by an interdisciplinary team of practicing physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals. We combine medicine, research evidence, expert opinion, and real-world experience for a new angle on patient-centered care.
