Beyond Fear to Find Your Bliss: Growing Yourself and Transforming SLP Education

Swallow the Gap

Dr. Julie Barkmeier-Kraemer discusses the transformative impact of learning from failure, managing self-expectations, and imposter syndrome. She draws from her experience as a clinician, instructor, researcher, administrator, and more to provide insights into developing oneself and revolutionizing education for speech-language pathologists. With brief tangents about cranial nerves and clinical swallow evaluations, the conversation navigates topics such as critical thinking, the strengths of case-based learning, and viewing clinical supervision as a partnership.
