    Episode 9: Advocacy for Dysphagia
    Jul 1 2021
    Guests: Jessica Conn and Hilary Cooper - One of our favorite topics is the SLP’s role in advocacy, and today we are joined by some of the fiercest advocates around. Jessica Conn is a Visiting Clinical Instructor at Stephen F. Austin State University, where she teaches undergraduate and graduate coursework, including dysphagia and neurogenic communication disorders. She also owns East Texas Swallow Diagnostics, a mobile FEES company serving the broader East Texas area. She is currently the Director of University Relations for the Dysphagia Outreach Project as well. Hilary Cooper, our second guest, is a self-proclaimed dysphagia nerd who has extensive experience with pediatrics and adults in a variety of settings. She owns North Louisiana Swallow Solutions, a mobile FEES company, and is the President and CEO of the Dysphagia Outreach Project. In today's episode, after hearing about how Jessica and Hilary became SLPs, we dive into advocacy. We talk about how it differs from education, the importance of getting involved at state and national levels, and why advocacy needs to be a part of curriculums. We also get into some specific ways that you, as an SLP, can advocate for your patients and their families, who are constantly faced with the injustice and systemic inequality in our healthcare system. To hear more from these inspiring women, tune in today!

    Jun 26 2021
    Guest: Dr. Raquel Garcia - As SLPs, it is so important that we maintain a spirit of continual learning, and today's guest, Dr. Raquel Garcia, is an exemplary example of a life-long learner. She is a trained craniofacial speech-language pathologist and works at Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, where she is a core member of the craniofacial team. Raquel works in the acute care setting in the neonatal intensive care unit and pediatric cardiac intensive care unit. In this episode, Raquel talks about her journey to becoming an SLP and how she found her current niche. We dive into a range of infant airway disorders, where Raquel thoroughly guides us through what we should be looking out for. While it may appear overwhelming, Raquel is gifted at explaining complicated concepts in a digestible, accessible manner. Our conversation also touches on the importance of authentically connecting with other practitioners, the power of remembering our why, and understanding the key role that the community SLP plays in helping patients and their families overcome their difficulties. Raquel's passion for her craft is truly inspiring, so tune in to hear it all!

    Episode 7: End of Life Care and Dysphagia
    Jun 24 2021
    Guest: Caitlin Saxtein MS, CCC-SLP, BCSS, CBIS: For this episode of the Understanding Dysphagia Podcast, we are joined by Caitlin Saxtein to talk about end-of-life care and palliative care. Caitlin Saxtein MS, CCC-SLP, BCSS, CBIS is a medical speech-language pathologist currently working in the acute care setting and has experience in subacute, rehabilitation, outpatient, and home health. She also has an extensive background with East End Hospice, having volunteered with them for nearly 15 years. In our conversation, we talk with Caitlin about how she became passionate about end-of-life care during her many years of volunteering and what she has learned working in the field of palliative care. Palliative care is sometimes assumed to mean end-of-life care, even among some health workers, but this is not necessarily the case. Caitlin unpacks the term and explains how palliative care is distinct from hospice care, describing palliative care as specialized medical care for people living with a serious illness to improve the quality of life for patients and their families. We discuss alternate means of nourishment and why feeding a loved one who is ill is so significant for a family. Later, we discuss advance directives, outlining what they are and how they impact your medical choices when you can no longer make them yourself. We wrap by hearing from Caitlin about how she practices self-care, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. For all this and much more, join us today for a wonderful conversation about Caitlin's experiences with palliative care!
