In this episode of the Speech Path Pod, I talk with Adriana Ramirez, CF-SLP, and Aaron Padilla, CCC-SLP about the clinical fellowship experience from the perspective of a mentor and mentee. Throughout the interview we discuss:
-How to prepare for a medical clinical fellowship
-The importance of mentorship
-Prioritizing a good mentor vs preferred clinical setting
-How to know you're ready to mentor a clinical fellow
-Much more!
Adriana Ramirez is a speech-language pathologist with Presbyterian Healthcare Services at Rust Medical Center and ClearSky Rehabilitation Hospital. She graduated with her master’s degree from New Mexico State University in May 2022. Recently, Adriana joined the University of New Mexico’s Swallow Disorders Research Lab as a volunteer.
Aaron Padilla is an acute care speech pathologist with Presbyterian Healthcare Services at Rust Medical Center in Rio Rancho New Mexico. He is a board certified specialist in swallowing and swallowing disorders and enjoys bridging the gap between the research lab and clinical world through implementation science. Aaron feels it is a tremendous privilege to be a clinician researcher by advancing the science of swallowing and its disorders all the while providing clinical care. He has been a member of the Swallow Disorders Research Lab under the direction of Phyllis Palmer, at the University of New Mexico since 2012. His current research interests include host considerations and risk mitigation.
