For prospective graduate
students interested in medical SLP:
I
compiled the following list based on ASHA’s EdFind as well as the websites of
these programs. Some of the programs are very medically oriented while others
are affiliated with hospitals, have medical “tracks”, require many medically
based courses to graduate, or offer students the opportunity to delve into some
aspect of medical speech pathology. So the degree to which they are “medical”
programs varies. If you are interested in a medical SLP program, research these
schools (including their CAA accreditation/all other accreditations) and see
what each one offers. If you know of a medical program that is not on this
list, please let me know!

If you
cannot attend a medical program, there are still many ways to gain exposure to
this area of SLP.
