Speech-Language Pathology Fellowship
UF Health Jacksonville is proud to offer two annual fellowships in speech-language
pathology, one in acute care and one in our transitional care unit (TCU) which serves
as an inpatient rehab center. The American
Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) requires a clinical
fellowship following the completion of academic coursework and clinical practicum.
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 skills in caring for a diverse population of patients. Settings for skill
development include acute care, short-term rehabilitation and specialty clinics.
The CF program includes experience diagnosing and managing various disorders across
the lifespan including specialized services such as Videofluoroscopic Swallow Studies,
Flexible Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing, Lee Silverman Voice Treatment,
SPEAK OUT!® and the LOUD Crowd®, head and neck cancer care and TEP placements, trauma
and TBI care as well as tracheostomy, Passy-Muir Valve and ventilator care. The
program mirrors the medical resident model of post-graduate education and provides
the CF experience working with a multidisciplinary team with doctors, residents,
nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and
dietitians.
