Medical SLP in Geriatric and Palliative Care: Optimizing
Collaboration and Patient Outcomes
Presented by Treasyri Williams Wood
Description
Speech-language pathologists in medical settings often face challenges in establishing effective interdisciplinary collaboration and defining their role in geriatric and palliative care. Many SLPs report feeling underprepared for the complex medical decision-making and team dynamics required in these settings. This webinar addresses these challenges by providing concrete strategies for interdisciplinary collaboration, clinical decision-making frameworks, and evidence-based interventions specific to geriatric and palliative populations. Through case studies, practical examples, and implementation tools, participants will gain confidence in their role as essential team members in complex medical environments. Perfect for medical SLPs in acute care, rehabilitation, and long-term care settings.
