As I’ve been going through my coursework for my PhD with concentrations in Healthcare Leadership & Healthcare Education, I’ve seen a glaring gap in the knowledge that’s provided to SLPs all about the systems and processes of healthcare delivery. Like a HUGE gap. A gap that my DPT & NP fellow PhD students didn’t have. It downright made me angry that all of these other professions knew these things, and we, as SLPs, simply don’t. Sooo we’re going to teach it to you 👏 In The MedSLP Collective’s new program, Changemakers, we’ll teach you the systems and processes for writing quality improvement projects, value-based cost analyses, value-for-cost proposals, and population health analyses. (To name a few 😉) You’ll be required to come up with a project you want to tackle and… ✔️We’ll teach you the systems & processes involved. ✔️We’ll bring in other SLPs who have accomplished these projects to help coach you along. ✔️We’ll provide you with a mentor to reach out to ask any of your “sticky” questions. It’s time we take the future of the #MedSLP field into our own hands!! DM me “CHANGE” and I’ll send you the information on joining! #changemakers #slp #medslp #slpmentorship 

Why Interprofessional Education Matters? 🤝 Did you know that effective teamwork in healthcare can lead to better patient outcomes? One key approach to fostering this collaboration is Interprofessional Education (IPE). IPE enables students from diverse healthcare disciplines to work together, gain insights into each other's roles, and prepare for the real-world challenges they will face in their professional careers. #IPE #FutureOfHealthcare

Classrooms are essential, but there's something equally important – professional development! 🚀 Our MHLP programs are all about empowering students with crucial networking and communication skills through skill-building workshops, conferences, and industry events. 🤝 Imagine rubbing shoulders with industry professionals and gaining fresh perspectives at conferences! It's a pivotal part of our students' growth journey. “This was a truly amazing experience because I learned from and met people from so many different disciplines,” says MHLP student Mary Gerali in Clinical Education. “It was fantastic to connect with nurses, doctors, researchers and other healthcare professionals who shared their observations and described their innovative practices.” 🎯 In the second term of the program, the focus is on actionable steps to help engineering/healthcare leaders stand out in networking and bridge the gap between academia and their post-graduation dreams. The experiences beyond the classroom are empowering future leaders to ace interviews and make meaningful contributions to their future organizations.

“It’s my problem” is always my mentality when working with teams on healthcare improvement projects.    For example, let’s say I am the Director of a healthcare improvement graduate program targeting physicians and I want to grow the program. 🔅 Should I expand the disciplines eligible for the program? 🔅   In fact, I’ve just had my first few meetings with a group about this problem. Here’s a glimpse of how I’m thinking through it in these early stages:   1.    Market 🔹 What’s the market size for expansion? (e.g., What new interest would a program change garner?) 🔹 What does the future look like? (e.g., Post-COVID, how is the narrative around higher education likely to change? Are there secular changes, like new governmental safety strategies, that will influence interest in the program?) 2.    Competition 🔹 What are other programs doing/not doing? (e.g., Other programs offer a virtual option, whilst we remain in person) 🔹 What are the outcomes from these other programs? (e.g., What are the physicians involved in multidisciplinary programs saying?) 🔹 How difficult is it to set up new graduate programs? (e.g., It will take new programs X years to obtain program certification) 3.    Advantage 🔹 Prestige? 🔹 Ability to keep full time job while doing the program? 🔹 Practical, rather than theoretical, modules? 🔹 Cost? 4.    Risk 🔹 What is the risk of losing the original physician student pool?   I’m at the beginning of this journey and excited to share my problem solving thought process as I go!   Here’s what I’m listening to: The Adults Are Talking- The Strokes

💡Lessons from an Unexpected Mentor: 🦷During a recent dental visit, I was struck by the expertise of my retiring hygienist.
