Anyone else see things over and over again and wonder why they can’t find a single study on it? 🤔

This was me early on in my career 🤚

Until I had a huge lightbulb moment with a colleague 💡

He said that all of us are busy seeing patients and there typically aren’t enough researchers to study every single thing we are continuing to see. But that doesn’t mean that it’s not true.

Know what you’re seeing is valid ✅

My perspective on treatment & patient communication completely shifted when I was on the other side.

In working with MANY therapists over the years for my son, there’s only been a handful that I’ve loved.

This has nothing to do their ability or knowledge; I’m sure they’re all excellent at their jobs…

The issue was that most were more interested in pushing their own beliefs and agendas than meeting me where my family or I were at.

Here’s the reminder you need: Check in with your patients. See what they’re available to receive. This is what makes the difference between a good SLP & a GREAT SLP!

Learn more about the balance between clinical experience & honoring your patients by joining MedSLPEd! We have two incredible classes coming out this month focused on evidence-based practice that I’m super excited about – link in bio to learn more ✅

More than ever before, financial issues are a huge part of healthcare decisions.

But don’t project your own money stories on your patients. Let them make their own informed choices.

As a professional, you need to discuss all options, regardless of cost, with complete transparency. You never know what someone’s financial situation may be 💰

Take some time to reflect: are you assuming or projecting your own money stories onto patients, and therefore, excluding them from more expensive treatment options?

Treat each patient & situation at a fair playing field. Everyone deserves to decide what they’re willing & not willing to pay for; they can’t effectively make decisions for themselves & their body, unless you present the options.

Find the support you’ve been missing by joining the Med SLP Collective where you’ll receive encouragement from mentors & a strong community of other med SLPs! Link in bio ✅

I love this definition of an evidence-‘based’ practice. (Personally, I think ASHA should adopt it 👀 )

There’s a lot more that goes into an evidence-based practice BESIDES research, though that’s definitely an important component.

We also need to consider clinician experience and patient wishes & perspectives.

Learn more & adopt a true evidence based practice with our newest MedSLPEd course and see how easily you’ll connect with your patients & improve their outcomes. Link in bio to get started today ✅

I come across this a lot in my mentorship & education of other clinicians…

So, raise a hand if this is you: taking one CEU course a year and thinking that’s enough 📝

Don’t get me wrong, there are a ton of really informative & great specialty CEU courses out there, but for me, it is not enough to make you a truly better clinician.

Commit to expanding your horizons & start exploring MedSLP Ed. We have tons of approved ASHA CEU online courses that fill the gap between grad school and clinical practice! Link in bio to start becoming a confident, knowledgeable clinician today ❤️

If you are unhappy with your job, there’s only one thing stopping you from changing it: you.

If your job is no longer feeling like a good fit, it’s okay for you to move on. Actually, it’s preferable for you and your patients!

Imagine how much you could get done for your patients if you were actually excited and passionate about your job? 🤔

The possibilities are limitless! There are several opportunities for you. Get out of your own way and take your career into your own hands ❤️

Drop a 🔥 in the comments if you’re committed to prioritizing showing up as your best self for yourself & your patients in 2022!

Just like in most areas of our lives, you get what you give in your career.

There’s no ifs, ands, or buts about this: your career is a reflection of you.

And when you’re an SLP clinician and you’re not putting in your best, you are affecting your patients ability to heal. That might stink to hear, but it’s the truth.

What are you willing to do to take your career into your own hands, show up for your patients and improve their outcomes? 🤔

I know you have value. You know you have value.

Do the decision makers at your workplace know you have value?

The truth is that they may not unless you’ve explicitly shown them.

When you advocate for yourself as an SLP clinician, you also are advocating for your patients.

When you show & educate people on your value, you’re more likely to get the tools & resources you need in order to treat your patients with better care.

Join the MedSLP Collective to finally get the support & encouragement you need in order to show up at work with confidence ❤️ Link in bio— we can’t wait to have you!

This is one of the maaaajor reasons I started continuing education platforms for Medical SLPs 👀 When I was on the other side of the patient/clinician relationship, I felt a lot of SLPs were missing information & confidence in their practice. This is not a personal failure (the system is not set up for your success), but you need to take responsibility for getting the knowledge you need to effectively do your job! MedSLP Ed is designed to improve your medically-based clinical skills and earn respect. Educate yourself beyond a few short webinars a year & finally get the results you’re looking for. Link in bio to register for your first course ❤️

Can you imagine what it might feel like for one of your patients to describe you as the best they’ve ever worked with?

How good would that feel? To know that you are helping people to the best of your ability & they feel and know that, too?

Isn’t that why you wanted to be in this profession in the first place? 🥇

Let’s be real: Graduate school didn’t prepare you to work at the top of your license in the medical setting.

It’s time to take your success into your own hands & help your patients achieve outcomes they never thought possible.

My goal in having clinicians adopt an evidence-based practice is for them to feel supported and confident in their work and to understand the partnership WITH patients.

Too often, we can have data-driven tunnel vision 😵‍💫 and forget to incorporate patient wishes & ask colleagues for support when looking for treatment.

Looking to transform your practice & serve your patients with confidence? Learn more about adopting an evidence-based practice in our new MedSLP Ed course at the link in bio ❤️

You’ve got this!

If you’ve been here for awhile, you know I am always talking about the relationship between external evidence, individual clinical experience, and patient perspectives & wishes…

However, there are several other models of EBP that we can explore. The two I talk about in this clip are fascinating models to consider & think about in your own implementation.

How have clinical circumstance & your own well-being affected how well you’re able to show up for your patients? Let me know in the comments!

To learn more about the different models of evidence-based practice, head to MedSLP Ed for all the info you need!
