Hi, I'm currently an ENT fellow at an East Coast hospital. For a research project, I'm currently working on a survey to assess the role of otolaryngology in speech pathology education. We plan for this survey to go out to speech pathology program directors. Our hospital does not have a current speech path training program, I was hoping I could ask a few questions here so I can put together a survey with appropriate questions.
1) Do speech path students ever spend part of their practical training with an ENT in the clinic?
2) What are the most common aspects of the physical exam/instrumentation performed by a speech pathologist (are these ever taught by an ENT)?
3) What are the most common clinical scenarios for which speech pathologists have to participate with ENTs and audiologists and come up with a care plan? Is cooperation with other discplines something that is taught?
Any other thoughts you have would be great!
I would love it if any of you could share your experiences, it would help me out a great a deal.
