Wonderful! Thank you for including speech-language pathology in your channel. I am finishing my graduate degree in speech-language pathology this year and find your videos to be excellent resources to supplement my understanding of several topics within my field. Hope you continue making superb content with clear explanations!
@@rand_-mk5lb Hello there, rand_0893! Thanks for your question. Whether you're considering medical school or a graduate SLP program in the United States, you will need to raise your GPA by retaking coursework because both fields are very competitive. The admissions committee will look favorably at your application if you can demonstrate growth by the second attempt in those courses, given that you've shown perseverance. I strongly recommend re-taking CSD courses, if necessary, and paying less attention to general electives since the committee cares mostly about your CSD GPA. There are many other ways you can distinguish yourself. They include (1) weekly volunteerism (e.g., hospital, school, memory care facility) for 6 months to a year, (2) weekly leadership (or participation) in a recognized organization for 6 months to a year (e.g., local or national club like NSSLHA, and / or your job) for a year, (3) weekly observation / shadowing hours for at least 3 to 4 months, (4) strong letters of recommendation from your professors and SLPs you've observed, (5) a powerful essay individualized to each program you apply to about your growth as a student and your passion and commitment to speech-language pathology, (6) a competitive GRE score by studying for at least 3 months and taking several practice tests, (7) a part-time job that aligns with the helping / educational / healthcare field (e.g., SLP-A), and (8) conducting part-time, undergraduate research under the supervision of a professor. For clarification, you do not have to complete all eight of these recommendations, but the more, the better. You know yourself best, so be careful not to stretch yourself too thin (think "quality over quantity.") Now if you're interested in medical school, the formula for admission is similar, except the prerequisite coursework (and science GPA) will be focused on at least a year of biology, inorganic and organic chemistry, biochemistry, and physics coursework. Instead of the GRE, you will need a competitive score on the MCAT. (Many medical school applicants spend half a year, if not more, preparing for this exam.) Nonetheless, the volunteerism, leadership, shadowing, letters of recommendation, essay, relevant job experience, and undergraduate research still apply because it is important to convey to the committee that you have thought long and hard about your career choice. Besides, you will be much more persuasive in your essay thanks to all the experiences you have gained along the way. I hope this information helps you develop a plan for admission. Best of luck to you! Cheers, Thomas
Thank you for posting the SLP section, this is exactly what I need. Your video is the only one that explains the science so clearly, makes the complex concept so easy to understand. I really appreciate it.
thank you for this informational video, i'm learning more about SLP as a potential career path after my linguistics degree and im excited to watch more of your videos :)
Would you consider adding dyslexia to your topic? I enjoyed the Language Processing but had difficulty seeing completely where the breakdown would occur between auditory to language processing from occipital area to Wernicki's.
Good part of the day Sir! Is there any training courses for speech therapists from abroad? Or could you suggest any source that I would get information about this. I
I’m an audiology resident so I appreciate your use of colors to represent L/R. However it’s driving me nuts that on the white board the L/R are not anatomical (patient’s left/right). Hahaha 😂 Also I have not heard of agnosia used for auditory input. I guess audiologists would just call this a central auditory processing disorder (hemisphere or corpus callosum to be determined by evaluation)
