SLHS 627 Off-Campus Practica – Hospital and Adult Settings: TEACHING PHILOSOPHY APPROACH: The student clinicians require a varying level of assistance and teaching pending the semester. Specifically, a first semester (fall) clinician needs more direction, structure and support than a student in the spring or summer semesters. Therefore, my instructional approach varies per semester and per individual student experience and ability. I strive to create an atmosphere that encourages personal growth, collaboration and professionalism.

CLINICAL TEACHING RESPONSIBILITIES: SLHS 626 Intervention: The responsibilities for this section have been impacted the most since the budget cuts. For example, in 2007 I had 5 students per semester with 10 clients to manage. Due to the shortage of clinical supervisors currently, I now have 9 students with 16-20 clients to manage. I provide direct supervision of students treating adult clients with the diagnoses of Left/Right CVA, TBI, Anoxia, Encephalitis, Voice Disorder and Dysfluency. Treatment approaches for the remediation of aphasia, apraxia, dysarthria, cognitive-linguistic disorders, voice, and fluency are discussed and practiced. Treatment is provided in both group and individual formats. Every aspect of service delivery is instructed including goal setting, choosing an evidence-based treatment program, creating a formal treatment plan, implementing cuing hierarchies, data collection and writing daily progress notes in the SOAP format. I meet with the students, as a group (“staffing”) once a week. The students are required to meet with me individually on a weekly basis for 30-60 minutes. They also have the option of signing up for office hours should they require additional assistance. In addition to training the students, a large part of my time is spent with client case management which can include: providing education and counseling to families, clients and other

professionals during the treatment day as needed; assisting clients and families in problem-solving a variety of issues; acting as a liaison between clients and community resources (i.e. Acquired Brain Injury Program); returning phone calls, and responding to e-mails from clients/family members/allied professionals. SLHS 618 Diagnostic Practica: I have 6-10 students per semester in this practica. It is my responsibility to schedule the clients, contact any previous professionals for record and history collection and to assign the cases to the student teams. I provide direct supervision to the students conducting complete assessments to adults with a variety of speech, language, and cognitive disorders. In addition to testing clients, the students are placed in pairs and are required to practice multiple assessments on each other. These assessments are selected from the Assessment Protocols generated by the Academic Faculty. I assign 13-15 full tests which they must administer, score and turn in for correction and comment.

OTHER DUTIES: Clinical Administrative Duties: SLHS 627 Off-Campus Practica – Hospitals and Adult Settings: I share this practicum with the Clinic Director who updates the affiliation agreements and ensures new contracts are completed. I am responsible for procuring the sites for both fall and spring semesters (and summer session when we have JDP students to place). Each semester our School has 17-20 students to place off-campus. The procurement of these student placements is quite challenging as there are approximately 25 organizations in San Diego County that meet the School’s high standards for training (hospitals, rehabilitation centers, private practices and community college programs). SDSU SLHS competes with many other university programs for student externships. Each semester, I contact the Speech Pathology Director at the sites and request that they provide mentoring for another SDSU student. Since these Directors are repeatedly asked for such assistance, it often requires earnest persistence. Once the sites are secured, I arrange for each student to interview at three locations. The sites require the interviews as they want to select the student whom they will be training. I meet with the students to provide general practica information, interviewing assistance and overall tips for success and professionalism as they

are representing SDSU SLHS. After the sites select their student interns, I create the final list and present it to the Clinic Director for feedback and edification purposes. I am then responsible for managing the students for the 15 week semester. The students email weekly with a summary of experiences. From these writings, I can monitor potential situations and intervene with the site Supervisor if necessary. Consultation: I meet frequently with second year students seeking assistance with resume writing and general questions regarding their upcoming Clinical Fellowship Year. Additionally, I write multiple letters of recommendation (an average of 2025 per year) and provide references via telephone or online questionnaires. In order to enhance the professional knowledge needed for our second year MA students, I created two CFY Preparation presentations in 2013. Topics included: how to write a resume and cover letter; where to find CF positions; interviewing tips and techniques; accessing professional resources and relationships for employment; and the specific paperwork process for each of the three certifying agencies (ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence, CCTC Credential, State of California licensure SLPAB). In addition, I formed an Alumni Panel comprised of six recent graduates (representing varied settings and populations) to discuss their experiences as Clinical Fellows. To further help our students find jobs and network with speech pathologists in the community, I organized two, social alumni events (May 2013 and December 2013). Both gatherings produced positive feedback from those who attended, which strengthens our bond with our alumni and increases mutual networking opportunities.
