Medical Speech-Language Pathology Across the Care Continuum: An Introduction 1st. ed. Alex Johnson, Barbara Jacobson, Megan Schliep, Bridget Perry ISBN13: 978-1-63550-268-8 This exciting new text offers a comprehensive, engaging, and readable overview to the dynamic field of medical speech-language pathology. It is the first medical speech-language pathology textbook that is not focused on the various disorders, but instead examines the scope and key concepts of the profession, such as clinical reasoning, interprofessional practice, and the continuum of care. The book provides an in-depth overview of healthcare workplace settings (acute care, inpatient rehabilitation, skilled nursing, home health, outpatient care, pediatric service delivery, pharmacology, and neuroimaging). |
