The Individual

Purpose Communication between allied health professionals, teachers, and family members is a critical skill when addressing and providing for the individual needs of patients. Graduate students in speech-language pathology programs often have limited opportunities to practice these skills prior to or during externship placements. The purpose of this study was to research a mixed reality simulator as a viable option for speech-language pathology graduate students to practice interprofessional communication (IPC) skills delivering diagnostic information to different stakeholders compared to traditional role-play scenarios. Method Eighty graduate students ( N = 80) completing their third semester in one speech-language pathology program were randomly assigned to one of four conditions: mixed-reality simulation with and without coaching or role play with and without coaching. Data were collected on students' self-efficacy, IPC skills pre- and postintervention, and perceptions of the intervention. Results The students in the two coaching groups scored significantly higher than the students in the noncoaching groups on observed IPC skills. There were no significant differences in students' self-efficacy. Students' responses on social validity measures showed both interventions, including coaching, were acceptable and feasible. Conclusions Findings indicated that coaching paired with either mixed-reality simulation or role play are viable methods to target improvement of IPC skills for graduate students in speech-language pathology. These findings are particularly relevant given the recent approval for students to obtain clinical hours in simulated environments.

Telepractice technology allows greater access to speech-language pathology services around the world. These technologies extend beyond evaluation and treatment and are shown to be used effectively in clinical supervision including graduate students and clinical fellows. In fact, a clinical fellow from the United States completed the entire supervised clinical fellowship (CF) year internationally at a rural East African hospital, meeting all requirements for state and national certification by employing telesupervision technology. Thus, telesupervision has the potential to be successfully implemented to address a range of needs including supervisory shortages, health disparities worldwide, and access to services in rural areas where speech-language pathology services are not readily available. The telesupervision experience, potential advantages, implications, and possible limitations are discussed. A brief guide for clinical fellows pursuing telesupervision is also provided.

Female Graduate Student

The relationship between judged clinical effectiveness and personality variables as determined by the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) was studied in a population of 130 female graduate students in speech-language pathology from nine universities in six different states. An MMPI profile analysis for the total group indicated that the group was similar to other female graduate student populations and that the typical student, while being manifestly normal, might be described as being rather passive, compliant, stereotypically feminine, sensitive, anxious, highly imaginative, creative, and energetic. Although no single MMPI scale was found to differentiate between subject clinical effectiveness groups, the subjects' MMPI profiles were found to predict accurately the clinical effectiveness group to which the subjects were assigned.

Adequate Supervision

In the present feasibility study, e-supervision was used to provide university liaison supervision to SLP graduate students enrolled in student teaching practica. Utilizing a mixed methodology approach, interview and survey data were compared in order to identify similarities and differences between face-to-face and e-supervision and guide future practice. Results showed e-supervised graduate students received adequate supervision, feedback, support, and communication. Further, e-supervision provided additional benefits to supervisors, children on the caseload, and universities. Despite the benefits, disadvantages emerged. Implications for future practice and limitations of the study were identified.

Purpose Clinical supervisors play a fundamental role in enabling students to transform knowledge into clinical skills. The 2020 changes to Speech-Language Pathology Certification Standards will require speech-language pathologists who want to serve as clinical supervisors of applicants for certification to complete a minimum of 9 months of practice experience postcertification and 2 hr of professional development in the professional practice domain of supervision postcertification prior to overseeing a student in a clinical supervisor capacity. Conclusion This article describes a framework for clinical supervisors of graduate students to use based on the premise that supervision should be an intentional reflective activity. The authors describe how to plan for clinical education across practice settings, provide appropriate feedback, and use questions effectively.

Nonacademic Variables

Purpose Admissions committees rely heavily on quantitative academic variables such as undergraduate grade point average (UGPA) and scores on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). However, the ability of these factors to predict the clinical success of speech-language pathology (SLP) graduate students has not been substantiated. The purpose of the current study was to examine the relationship between academic variables (i.e., UGPA, major grade point average, GRE scores) and nonacademic variables (i.e., age, personality type, prior work experience in the field) and determine the degree to which each of these variables predicts clinical success. Method Data were extracted from academic records of 45 students enrolled in a graduate SLP program at a public institution of higher learning between 2014 and 2016. Descriptive statistics and correlation coefficients were used to identify the relationships between academic and nonacademic variables with clinical success. Results Correlation results did not identify a significant relationship between academic variables and clinical success as well as between nonacademic variables and clinical success. However, relationships between the academic variables and nonacademic variables were discovered. Predictive power of clinical success was not identified due to lack of correlations between the variables. Conclusions Academic variables (GRE, UGPA, major grade point average) nor nonacademic variables (age, personality type, previous work experience) were found to have a significant correlation to clinical success in SLP graduate students. There continues to be a lack of evidence in identifying individual variables as sole predictors for success in SLP graduate programs.
