 Clinical program learning objectives are based on ASHA KASAs (e.g., PSLE = peds Dx skills) Practica: Supervisors make decisions about your rotation based on learning objectives (e.g., caseload, type of cases) Pre/Internship: Fieldwork team makes decisions about your placements based on learning objectives  Program goal (our job) is to prepare you to enter the profession

 Arranged through the fieldwork coordinator  Please do not make independent inquiries. You can observe/shadow, but not “coordinate.” In most cases, the coordinator makes the placement decision A few sites (local & long-distance) require an application process Formal could require resume, interview Informal could include the same, but more of a face-to-face  When placed, the coordinator will follow-up with all parties for next steps (e.g., onboarding, etc.)

Site Availability (fluctuates continuously) Meeting the degree program learning objectives Your clinical performance to date (i.e., SCEs, supervisor feedback) Expert guidance Schools: Kate Krings Non-schools: Kelsey Leighton

School vs. Non-school Peds vs. Adult Birth to three, medical setting, voice Any interests that you let us know, we review.

 Official connection to you and site from fieldwork coordinator Rolling announcement; all students know approximately 2 weeks before quarter  includes instructions Arrange your schedule with supervisor Complete onboarding requirements, if any Prepare learning profile

Plan now for transportation regardless of distance Sites from Bellingham to Olympia, Poulsbo to Cle Elum How will you get there? Maintain updated learning profile Be prepared to share your resume Maintain clinical compliance: Alerts on Typhon Act promptly to renew expiring items Be prepared to complete additional items required by site/s (e.g., drug screen, fingerprinting, additional background check) Communicate promptly: Check twice daily Review and complete learning contract with primary supervisor

Continue to gain discipline-specific knowledge and skills to practice as an SLP Continue to develop your professional skills Physical presentation Oral and written communication Teamwork and collaboration Behavior management Self-awareness & self-regulation The goal is for you to answer “what does it take for me to do this job successfully?”

Can I get paid to do my Core internships? Typically, no Some school sites have offered a stipend Can I set up my own affiliation? No, we have over 250 affiliations so you have an amazing array of options. Study information – think- share with us – we’ll do the work Can I secure a placement now? Only if out of area site requires commitment now Do the MedSLP students get priority over CoreSLP students? No, each site is open to both degree programs Sites may indicate a preference
