SLP Renee Kinder Shares How Joining ASHA SIG 15, Gerontology, Boosted Her Career
By Renee Kinder
1. When did you
join your SIG—and what made you want to join?
I
joined in 2013. This was secondary to my interest in the field of gerontology,
and I had the desire to learn from clinicians with similar interests and
experiences.
2. How has your
involvement with the SIG helped you in your career?
Involvement
in SIG 15 allows me the opportunity to not only engage with other SLPs
interested in the field of gerontology, but it also allows me to further engage
in volunteerism in ASHA via the SIG Professional Development Committee and
Perspectives editorship.
3. How do you
carve out time to volun...

“Pobrecito” – The Fine Line between Compassion and Infantilization
By Fabiana Juan Martinuzzi “Pobrecito”– she said as we discussed the patient’s pneumonia course before entering his room. “Pobrecito” – she repeated as we donned our gloves. “Pobrecito”- she mouthed to us in front of our patient. “Pobrecito”- she whispered in my ear as we left the room.

An SLP Shares Lessons Learned from the LA Teachers Union Strike
No one really walks in LA, and we usually stay indoors when it rains. So heads turned when tens of thousands took to the streets all over the city. We chanted with our colleagues, jammed the subways wearing red for education, and made signs with messages demanding funds for schools. Our cause? To get the Los Angeles United School District (LAUSD) to invest in our students, improve school safety, lower class sizes, cap charter school expansion, and provide a fair contract and wage. We were loud verbally and nonverbally.
Speech-language pathologists like me joined the picket lines and marched alongside educators despite ...

Meet the Academic Medicine Editorial Board: What experience has had the biggest impact on your career?
We asked the members of the Academic Medicine editorial board about the experience that has had the biggest impact on their career. This is what they said.
Colin P. West, MD, PhD, Mayo Clinic
I don’t know that I can pick out one single experience. Instead, I think the general principle that has served me well is to ensure that every project I work on offers intentional value: I am passionate about it directly, or it is a conduit to other projects I care about deeply, or I will gain a new skill set by participating.

Self-Proctored and Self-Developed: How a Flexible Preclinical Medical School Curriculum Enables Personal and Professional Development
“Did you drop out of school without telling us?” my dad asked with a chuckle. Throughout my preclinical years at the University of Michigan Medical School, we enjoyed this running joke because I rarely attended lectures and was often out of town on weekends visiting loved ones instead of studying in the library.
Contrary to my dad’s suspicions, I successfully completed my preclinical requirements with a strong foundation of medical knowledge. I did not achieve this with a photographic memory, but rather with the support of my school’s unique preclinical curriculum that offered on-demand lecture video streaming and ...
