SLP Now
About this episode

Welcome to another episode of The SLP Now Podcast, where we explore practical strategies and tactics for SLPs to enhance their skills and level up in their career. Today, we're diving into a topic near and dear to our hearts: Making the most of your next SLP conference

If you’ve been a podcast listener for a while, you may already know that Marisha is passionate about learning and staying up-to-date with the latest in the world of speech pathology. Whether it's new research, innovative interventions, or creative caseload management techniques, she's always eager to learn more.

One of Marisha’s favorite ways to learn and connect with fellow SLPs is by attending conferences. She loves how conferences offer a perfect blend of learning opportunities and the chance to connect with incredible SLPs like you!

But even with all her experience attending conferences, Marisha knows that the amount of options and information can sometimes be overwhelming.

Should I learn something new, or should I focus on perfecting what I already know?

Questions like this can cause some serious stress. That’s why Marisha started developing systems to make the most of these fantastic (albeit sometimes overwhelming and expensive 😅) learning opportunities.

In today's episode of the SLP Now podcast, Marisha shares her top three tips to help you make the most of your next SLP conference.

In the episode, we cover:

  • Selecting courses that align with your caseload
  • Setting up a smart note-taking system
  • Managing your CEUs like a pro

Marisha also shares exactly how she uses tools like Google sheets, Notability, and SLP Now’s caseload-at-a-glance sheet to get the most value out of the SLP conferences she attends. We hope you learn a thing or two (or three!) to help you do the same!
