Course Description
In this episode, Michelle is joined by Jennifer Casteix, MS CCC-SLP, Associate Clinical Professor at the University of Arizona, Past-President and Current Governmental Affairs Chair of the Arizona Speech-Language-Hearing Association, to discuss how to mentor the next generation of pediatric feeding disorder clinicians. Do you have a waitlist a mile-long for your services? Do you have calling to do “more” for our profession, but are unsure of where to begin? Do you have a bit of wit along with your PFD wisdom and a desire to share it? Then join Jennifer as she inspires us to take up the mantle of Clinical Supervision and Mentorship! Learn an update on the current state of affairs of pediatric feeding disorder coursework in graduate school to understand the knowledge base students are coming to us with, and then embrace the conversation regarding different adult learning styles as strategies to effortlessly train our profession’s future. By the end of this hour, our hope is you too will serve as a Clinical Supervisor.
