Speech pathology students need to be compassionate professionals who understand that whole person care is not only best practice, but a requisite when dealing with individuals with communication and swallowing challenges. Students are introduced to the profession they have chosen early in their studies to ensure that this is the right fit for them, both academically and personally. As they will have only two courses that are discipline-specific in year one, it is crucial that they have realistic expectations of the degree, that they cultivate a thorough understanding of the roles that speech pathologists may have in a variety of clinical settings, know where to access resources and readings for further study and make interpersonal connections with the academic staff in the SPYH program at UniSQ. This course is the first one that ensures students feel connected to the speech pathology profession.
