Your caseload here can be shaped around what you want to specialise in - communication disorders, dysphagia, AAC, or a broad adult and paediatric mix - with real input into which of those you do more of. Final-year students, current graduates and experienced Speech Pathologists are all genuinely in scope; new graduates get weekly mentoring and structured supervision from day one, and experienced clinicians get a caseload they can specialise or diversify, with a clear path into senior, leadership or mentoring roles when they're ready for it.
