        CSP 049: The CSD Doctoral Shortage

        More Details
        The shortage of doctoral students in CSD is nothing new. But why is it so? Why aren’t more people interested in pursuing a doctorate? On today’s episode, I welcome current doctoral students Martha Sherill and Charles Lenell who presented on this very topic at ASHA 2018.
        Martha Sherrill earned her M.C.D in Speech-Language Pathology from Auburn University in 2006, and her PhD in Speech and Hearing Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2018.  Martha practiced as an SLP in multiple medical settings and locations (e.g., acute care, sub-acute rehabilitation, home health, SNF) and her clinical specialties include aphasia, dysphagia, and cognitive-communicative disorders.  Her current line of research is focused on the use of Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) as a means of creating rich communicative environments and clinical spaces in inpatient rehabilitation facilities for adults with aphasia and other acquired cognitive-communicative disorders.  Martha will be joining the faculty of Southeastern Louisiana University in the Spring of 2019.  
        Charles Lenell, MS CCC-SLP, is a speech-language pathologist and doctoral candidate in the Communicative Sciences and Disorders Department at NYU. He works in the NYU Swallowing Lab with Dr. Molfenter and the NYUMC Voice Lab with Dr. Johnson. His line of research focuses on understanding the underlying laryngeal neuromuscular mechanisms of voice and swallow functions and his dissertation research evaluates how hormones affect the laryngeal mechanism and functions.

          1. Conversations in Speech Pathology (CSP) is a podcast about issues related to the clinical practice of speech pathology. My mission is for the show to be: Interesting, Respectful to all parties, & Fun!

          2. Per #1, my interests are primarily Autism, AAC, and Speech Sound Disorders (SSD). But...I will continue to cover other areas as well.

          3. Please don't assume that because I cover a particular topic or individual that I am automatically endorsing everything they say and stand for. I want to hear from a variety of voices and I may or may not agree with everything a particular guest might say. Please keep that in mind.

           

          Thanks for listening!

          -Jeff

           

          Working FAQ (Updated Summer 2020)

           

          1. Why don’t you put more episodes out on a regular basis? My podcast is a part-time passion of mine and it's a lot of work. For every hour of audio I record, there are about 4 hours of editing and post-production work that need to get done. There are also a lot of other speech podcasts these days- I'm really impressed!

           

          2. Do you feel a responsibility to champion evidence-based practice (EBP)? Yes, with a slight caveat. There are a number of issues in speech pathology where evidence (for or against a particular intervention) is either lacking or misleading (depending on who is citing a particular study). There is a serious lack of nuance and openness in our profession (actually, it's in all corners of life these days). I have always believed that it is better to justify why you are doing a particular intervention than to do something just because it was cited in a study. I also believe speech pathology is a profession still in its infancy. So much to learn!

           

          3. I really like the podcast. How can I support what you’re doing? I’m glad you asked! There are 3 ways you can help me out:

           

          1. Leave a review in Apple Podcasts or wherever else you listen to this show.

          2. Spread the word! Share the show with a colleague/friend.

          3. I am going to launch a product this fall (2020). Stay tuned!

          Conversations in Speech Pathology is a podcast meant to provide an ongoing dialogue about topics important to the practice of speech-language pathology/therapy. The show, its host, and guests do not provide medical or therapeutic advice regarding individual clients. Parents and other professionals are urged to seek the advice of a licensed professional for specific concerns regarding communication disorders/delays.

        • About the host...

          I am now in my 21st year as a speech-language pathologist. I began my career working with adults (acute/subacute, skilled nursing facility, trach/vent hospitals). Around 2000, I transitioned towards pediatrics and never looked back. I currently work in a school setting full-time (serving children with moderate-severe disabilities) while continuing a private practice part-time.

          That’s the short version at least…

          Me and my trusty microphone!
