Speech-Language Pathology Fellowship

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) requires a nine month clinical fellowship for new graduates, prior to obtaining a certificate of clinical competence (CCCs). UF Health Jacksonville is proud to offer one annual speech-language pathology clinical fellowship position in acute care at our Level 1 trauma center. UF Health Jacksonville offers a wide range of health care services and mentorship from specialized and board-certified clinicians, ideal for a clinical fellow (CF) to develop their skills in caring for diverse populations.

The CF in acute care will see patients at each unit at the hospital, ranging from trauma, neuro, medical/surgical, cardiac, head/neck cancer, and general medicine. The fellow will complete modified barium swallow studies and gain exposure to FEES. In addition, our CFs will have the option to observe at various clinics, including ALS, ENT, and head/neck cancer.
