Her Essay: The Future Clinician Educational Scholarship
A strong leader puts the needs of others above her own, has the confidence to stand up for what she deems significant, and rallies others to succeed. Through my studies in Linguistics with a specialization in Speech and Language Sciences at UC San Diego, I have learned effective communication skills are necessary to build strong interpersonal relationships. Today’s society has become insular where individuals often belittle those different from themselves. I aspire to combat these behaviors by guiding individuals to enhance their communication skills and to play a large role in fostering their emotional connections within their respective communities.

Successful Telepractice: Optimizing Your Online Services for Voice
We are under considerable pressure to deliver effective voice care as we distance physically and connect virtually. In 2018, Grillo published evidence in support of telepractice to successfully prevent and manage voice disorders.

Phonogenic Voice Problems among Speech-Language Pathologists in Synchronous Telepractice: An Overview and Recommendations
Kristie Knickerbocker, Cara Bryan, Aaron Ziegler
Abstract
Many speech-language pathologists (SLPs) recently adopted a live, synchronous online distribution of clinical services due to physical distancing measures aimed at bringing the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak under control. Few SLPs had received training in telepractice to prepare them for changes from an in-person service delivery model to synchronous telepractice. The new telepractice environment may alter vocal behaviors and communication interactions in such a way that negatively impacts voice production. Thus, delivering synchronous online clinical services may require that SLPs adopt novel prevention strategies for avoiding phonogenic voice problems. Guided by two complementary injury frameworks, the Haddon Matrix and the Haddon Countermeasures, this article provides an overview of potential factors associated with phonogenic voice problems among SLPs in telepractice and proposes possible prevention strategies to maintain optimal vocal health and function with synchronous modes of online clinical practice.
