OT vs SLP
Hi, I'm posting this in both the OT and SLP forums for feedback:
Can anyone give me some insight into the pros and cons of OT vs Speech (financial especially)?
Background: I’m a pre-OT student but feeling very lost. My college doesn’t really have any other students pursuing OT and my professors don’t know much about it so I am kind of muddling through it without much guidance.
When I first looked up OT in NY, I saw salaries that were around $90k. Now a few years later, I’m seeing OTs...

Adversity/Challenge Essay Topics
I don't want to hop onto anyone else's thread and steal their thunder, but I was hoping to get some advice on possible challenge/adversity essay topics:
Stuttering - Throughout my childhood and high school, I had a stutter which I went to a speech therapist for. I struggled, and still struggle, with certain words and phrases. I was shy and quiet for years in my childhood since I was afraid to speak up, and while my stutter is significantly less noticeable, now, from time to...

Sciencey classes without BCPM prefixes
Question:
I took a class called Anatomy & Physiology of Speech and Hearing as a Speech-Language Pathology prereq in case I don't get into medical school. It was all biology.
However, the catalog code was Communicative Disorders 385.
Can this count as BCPM based on content?
Thanks! (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Out of curiosity...wondering if caregiving could count as clinical experience.

Observed and assisted with patient interactions between him and various healthcare workers (Physical therapist, speech therapist, nurses, PCP, other docs, social worker, etc) as he was transferred from the ICU to clinic 1, clinic 2, and...

Learning about what therapists do
I'd like to better understand the specifics of what the PTs, OTs and Speech Therapists are actually doing with my patients both on the inpatient and outpatient side. I feel like this is a critical element of being a physiatrist, but I'm not really seeing where I will learn this in residency. When I make a prescription for therapy, I should be able to say more than 'eval and treat'. It is often suggested to go watch therapy session to learn about what the therapists are doing, and while...

Applying to Pharmacy School with a BA in Speech Pathology
Hello Everyone!
I recently graduated with my BA in Speech, Language and Hearing Science. I am currently working as an Audiology Technician but I am doing my research and figuring out that maybe Audiology isn't for me. I have always had an interest in Pharmacy but I am not sure where to start with the application process.
I have a 3.33 cumulative and in my major.
Any advice will help! (Source: Student Doctor Network)
