We’re like a conference—in your car, gym, laundry room… wherever!

Podcast Course: SLPs Role in Palliative Care and How to Have Serious Illness Conversations

This course is offered for .1 ASHA CEUs (Introductory Level, Related Area).

"Thank you for making this excellent, research-based learning opportunity that is both extremely accessible and affordable. This is the best kind of PD: it’s one hour at a time so I can learn and then have time to synthesize and apply. It provides information I can apply to my practice immediately; and I can listen and learn while I drive, fold laundry, etc. thanks for the research and resources!"

-Johanna H.
