“…That said, there has been work exploring the role of digital technology in enhancing clinical skills training within other medical fields. For example, Khan et al [22] describe the use of an accelerometer-based skills assessment technique to support surgical students in learning suturing skills and several authors have explored the role of simulation for clinical skills training [39,46]. Further, scholars in HCI and learning sciences are increasingly converging around research on participatory design for learning [1,14,55], with theory from education playing a vital role in creating usable and effective learning tools.…”

Ghana has a population of over 27 million people, of which 1 in 15 may have a communication disability. The number of speech and language therapists (SLTs) available to support these people remains remarkably small, presenting a major workforce challenge. As an emerging profession, there remain significant challenges around educating the first generation of SLTs. Ghana, however, has a healthy digital infrastructure which can be taken advantage of. We describe a comprehensive study which aimed to co-design a set of locally appropriate digital tools to enhance SLT training in Ghana. We contribute insights into how digital tools could support social learning and the transition from student to independent practitioner and future clinical supervisor. We offer a set of design recommendations for creating an online Community of Practice to enhance continuing professional development.
