“…With increasing diversity both within the workforce and the speech pathology client population, e-learning presents opportunities for international collaboration, cross-linguistic and cross-cultural learning beyond what can be achieved within specific workplace contexts. This aligns with aspirations regarding SP workforce preparedness for global citizenship (Millar, Carey, Fortune, Mathisen, Hill, Dukhno, & McKenzie, 2019). With qualified SP and student SP movement between countries for clinical education, temporary work assignments and permanent migration, the opportunity to develop consistent platforms of cross-cultural, cross-linguistic and interprofessional understanding between SP and IT professions will not only improve service responsiveness to meet clients' language and cultural needs, but also strengthen these professions' collaborative advocacy and action on language accessibility and equity.…”

The delivery of safe, high quality and equitable speech pathology services to clients with limited English proficiency requires speech pathologists (SPs), interpreters and translators (ITs) to work together effectively. No studies have described the development and evaluation of interprofessional training delivered in an online format. This study outlined the development of targeted e-learning for SPs and ITs, and evaluated e-learning outcomes. Sixty-six SPs and 140 ITs participated in pre-and post-training online surveys. Knowledge, confidence and practice items were self-rated on 5-point Likert scales, while skills were assessed using scored short answer responses to a video vignette assessment task. Outcomes were compared statistically between time points, and identical items from SP and IT surveys were compared between professions. Relationships between participant demographics and training outcomes were also explored. After e-learning, both professions demonstrated statistically significant improvements in all measures of self-reported knowledge, confidence, past practice compared to intended future practice, and skills. Differences in the extent of improvement between professions are discussed. SPs and ITs with less experience in their current profession and less experience working with the other profession demonstrated greater improvement after e-learning. Interprofessional e-learning developed in consultation with SPs and ITs has the potential to be an effective, user-led and accessible mode of training delivery when establishing foundation-level interprofessional training platforms for SP and IT professions globally. More research is needed to validate these findings and explore the impact of improved workforce preparedness on the delivery of equitable, accessible and high-quality services to improve client outcomes.

“…With this also comes the expectation that SLPs and AUs will continue to evaluate their own knowledge and at an individual level and commit to approaching LL mechanisms that prepare for these roles [111]. Furthermore, while LL mechanisms are necessary to gain new knowledge, SLPs and AUs must also be: a) exposed to the appropriate learning environments, b) provided with opportunities to integrate new knowledge to their work routines, and c) provided with the right conditions to understand new situations encountered, in order to build their skills and capabilities to be active and global citizens [124][125][126]. Therefore, these findings posit an impact on the current education, occupational learning environment, and LL mechanisms for SLPs and AUs, by suggesting that they must be adapted to provide SLPs and AUs with enough knowledge to feel empowered and engage within their role as active citizens.…”

BACKGROUND: Early involvement of stakeholders in neuroethics and neurogovernance discourses of neuroscientific and neurotechnological advancements is seen as essential to curtail negative consequences. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and audiologists (AUs) make use of neuroadvancements including cochlear implants, brain-computer interfaces, and deep-brain stimulation. Although they have a stake in neuroethics and neurogovernance discussions, they are rarely mentioned in having a role, whether as professionals or as citizens. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to explore the role of SLPs and AUs as professionals and citizens in neuroethics and neurogovernance discussions and examine the utility of lifelong learning mechanisms to learn about the implications of neuroadvancements to contribute in a meaningful way to these discussions. METHODS: Semi-structured interviews conducted with 7 SLPs and 3 AUs were analyzed using thematic analysis. RESULTS: Participants stated that their roles expected from them as professionals and as citizens indicate the importance to be knowledgeable on ethical, legal, and social implications of neuroadvancements and that lifelong learning is not used to learn about these implications. CONCLUSION: More must be done to facilitate the participation of SLPs and AUs in neuroethics and neurogovernance discussions, which would enrich the neuroethics and neurogovernance discourses benefitting patients, professionals, and the public.
