Session length: Two hours
Activity Description: Speech-Language Pathologists are required to complete clinical practicum hours during graduate school and a Clinical Fellowship post-graduate school. However, limited research exists regarding the efficacy of supervisory and mentoring strategies resulting in the use of arbitrarily determined methods. A scoping review of supervisory models for post-graduate healthcare professionals revealed that mentorship was positively associated with retention, decreased burnout, career success, and research involvement. While both mentees and mentors found value in mentorship programs, certain program characteristics, styles, topics, and traits had a greater impact than others. Likewise, preliminary results of a scoping review focused on clinical instruction found that graduate clinicians reported an increase in knowledge, skills, and confidence as a result of specific supervisory elements.
