  • 342 – Ditch the Medical Jargon for This: Health Literacy Insights with Dr. Richard Zraick
    2024/09/22

    “Research shows that one out of two patients forgets half the information given to them within 24 hours, and the other half remembers it incorrectly.”

    ☝️This is just ONE of the many golden nuggets of information that today’s guest throws at us.

    The ability to explain complex medical information and recommendations to patients in a way that’s easy to understand is a true and necessary art, which is why we have Richard Zraick Ph.D., CCC-SLP, F-ASHA, CHSE from the University of Central Florida here to talk about it!

    In this week's episode, you’ll learn all about..

    The two types of health literacy and how SLPs are involved in both
    How tools like ChatGPT can help clinicians create more accessible patient education materials
    A teaching method that, according to some studies, significantly reduces misunderstandings (and it only adds about 30 seconds to a clinical session.)
    How to tackle poor health literacy from a multidisciplinary perspective
    Strategies YOU can adopt to reduce medical jargon and set patients up for greater long-term outcomes.

    *NOTE: October’s themed mission inside the Medical SLP Collective is Health Literacy! If you’re not yet a Collective member and want to join this month’s mission with actionable assignments to apply at your job, go to www.medslpcollective.com and enroll today!

  • 341 – The Complex World of Auditory Comprehension and Receptive Aphasia: Assessment, Treatment, and More
    2024/09/15

    You know those awkward moments where you can’t hear what someone is saying in a loud environment, so you just nod and agree to whatever they say?

    …hoping it makes sense to just nod and agree?

    As a medical SLP, odds are, you’ve worked with patients who have done this to you.

    Not because you’re providing therapy in a loud environment, but because they have receptive aphasia, or impaired auditory comprehension.

    While impaired speech and language is easy to pick up on, auditory comprehension is a whole different ballpark…

    Which is why we’re bring on our beloved aphasia & auditory comprehension MedSLP Collective mentor, Brett McCardel!

    Brett drops dozens of golden knowledge nuggets with us as he shares things like…

    What impaired auditory comprehension can look like (it really varies!)
    How auditory comprehension impacts quality of life
    The two ways we can classify auditory comprehension
    Assessment tools
    Treatment considerations

    And so much more!!

    If you serve people with aphasia at all, you won’t want to miss this episode!

    And if you want to dig EVEN DEEPER into your aphasia assessment and treatment skills, you might be interested in this month’s themed mission inside of the MedSLP Collective! We’re dedicating every resource, checklist, in-service, and webinar this month to aphasia - including aphasia in sign language!

  • 340 – The Power of Qualitative Research in Speech and Language Pathology – Beatrice Manduchi PhD, MSc, BSc (SLP)
    2024/09/03

    While we often like to talk about research findings that shows us statistical significance in data and solid numbers we can lean on for treatment approaches…

    What about the kind of data that ISN’T objectively measured?

    The kind that shows us what patients or other clinicians experience think, or believe.

    I’m talking about qualitative research!

    Is qualitative research viewed as “less reputable” than quantitative research?

    What kind of valuable information can we pull from patient experiences, opinions, and views?

    Beatrice Manduchi PhD, MSc, BSc (SLP) is here to talk all about it in today’s episode of the Swallow Your Pride podcast!

    Beatrice is a speech-language pathologist who went from clinician to researcher and is currently working as a postdoc fellow at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Beatrice specializes in dysphagia, particularly in head and neck cancer.

  • 338 – Aphasia in Sign-Language: The Emerging Specialty of Sign Language Pathology
    2024/08/22

    We often talk about how aphasia impacts people’s ability to speak or understand language, but what about aphasia’s impact on sign language?

    Do the hands sometimes sign “apple” instead of “orange” thanks to a semantic paraphasia?

    If one arm is weak or paralyzed because of a stroke, how does THAT impact someone’s ability to communicate using sign language?

    Instead of speech-language pathology, would we make the focus sign-language pathology?

    Shelby Hill SLPD CCC-SLP QOM, is here to talk all about it - and you WON’T want to miss this discussion!

    Shelby describes her important work and research with individuals who are deaf and have also acquired a communication disorder. She covers important topics like whether or not sign language falls under the SLP scope of practice, how the neurological processes for signing are similar to those for speaking, and what aphasia can look like in individuals who use sign language.

    Don’t worry, if you find yourself saying, “I should have known that!” throughout this episode, you’re not alone.
