We invite qualified students to join our recently created Medical Speech-Language Pathology Master's program (MedSLP). The MedSLP program is designed to provide a focused, advanced path for students planning to work as speech-language pathologists in medical settings. In hospitals, rehabilitation and long-term care facilities, private practices, and specialty clinics, the practice of speech-language pathology has undergone extraordinary growth in scope and complexity. Graduates of the MedSLP program will be especially well-qualified for these specialized positions. Students completing the MedSLP program obtain a Masters of Science degree from the University of Washington and are eligible to receive the Certificate of Clinical Competence from the American Speech and Hearing Association (ASHA). The UW MedSLP program is distinguished by its innovative third year, which includes the Clinical Fellowship, qualifying students for ASHA’s Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC). The Clinical Fellowship Year is spent in one or more carefully selected medical facilities. In addition a weekly evening course, Clinical and Research Forum, provides an opportunity for discussion and expert consultation, greatly enriching the student’s clinical fellowship experience.  MedSLP students learn to approach speech-language pathology as clinical scientists, using methods grounded in evidence-based practice and the clinical literature. Students learn to formulate and address clinical and theoretical questions, exploiting the full range of informatics to best serve their patients. Principles of evidence-based practice provide the foundation for clinical decision-making that incorporates the best available evidence, as well as a sensitivity to each patient’s individual needs.
