Clinical Education

Two women talking

Clinical education is where coursework meets real-world practice. Under the mentorship of a registered speech-language pathologist, CSD students apply the knowledge, skills and behaviours they've learned in class to assess and treat people with a wide range of communication and swallowing needs.

Clinical experiences are built in throughout the program, preparing students for professional practice in English. Students complete both internal and external placements in a variety of settings, including:

  • Private practices
  • Rehabilitation facilities
  • Schools
  • Preschool programs
  • Community health centres
  • Acute care hospitals
