Episode 28: Pathway to a Medical Clinical Fellowship with Lindsey Heidrick, CCC-SLPD, Courtney Heitz, MA CCC-SLP, Caitlin Dunbar, MA, CCC-SLP, & Jacob McKinley, MHS, CCC-SLP - a podcast by Leigh Ann Porter, MA, CCC-SLP

This episode will provide the unique opportunity for listeners to hear from Dr. Lindsey Heidrick and a round table discussion with Jacob McKinley, Caitlin Dunbar, and Courtney Heitz on obtaining a medical clinical fellowship.  Lindsey starts off the episode describing the advice she provides graduate students who are interested in beginning their careers in the medical speech and language pathology setting. We discuss the relevant coursework a student would need, and the benefit of taking certifications while still a student (save some money and get an edge on your competition). Lindsey discusses dedicated CF positions (something I didn’t really know existed) as an option to aim for after graduate school. 



The roundtable with Jacob, Caitlin, and Courtney offers real life examples of how these three SLPs obtained CFs in a competitive level 1 trauma hospital. The trio describes their experiences applying for jobs and what they did to set themselves apart from the competition and stand out to the hiring manager.
