In the medical field, Speech and Language Pathology is a relatively young profession. Starting out as elocutionists, the field has grown dramatically since then. SLPs address language, voice, swallowing, and cognition or thinking skills from cradle to grave. In today’s episode, Richard Marn, MD brings on Leigh Ann Porter, a speech and language pathologist who primarily works with adults in the hospital setting. Leigh Ann explains the purpose they serve in healthcare. She also describes a typical day in the life of an SLP and talks about some misconceptions people have of her profession.
