Education and Training

Speech Pathology Clinical Fellows

BMC offers a clinical fellowship to speech language pathology graduates. Fellows are fully mentored, and intensive training is provided to ensure the fellows meet their clinical goals and the supervisor’s goals in order to become an independent clinician. 

Graduate Students

As a teaching hospital, we often have speech pathology students, medical students, fellows, and interns accompany our team during our clinical day. In collaboration with Boston University, we have developed a curriculum as a medical placement for speech language pathology students, which includes weekly lectures, seminars, hands-on learning, mentorship, and the opportunity to observe patient care.  

Speech Pathology Research

Our team has a robust research practice focused on communication, feeding, speech, and swallowing disorders. Our goal is to improve diagnosis and treatment options, in turn improving outcomes for populations as varied as laryngectomy patients, children with feeding disorders, and people who have lost their ability to communicate.
