Welcome to Acute Care Speech Practicum!

Carley Eason Evans MS CCC-SLP




Clinical Supervision for CSD Students

My clinical practicum occurs in a variety of settings: Transitional Care on 2 Center, acute care throughout the main hospital, ART, and the ALS Clinic.

How to Locate My Office:

Take the "E" (gold) elevators to the 7th floor in the North Tower, come off, go around to the left to the hall. I am in the first door on your right. Room 741.

I may be in the office, or I may be with a patient out on the floor. Call Communications and have them Carley Evans to your phone number. I will call you.

Details: As for the practicum itself: we will work closely with respiratory therapy, nursing, physical and occupational therapy. We will also involve family and caregivers as much as possible.

We will perform modified barium swallow studies as well as clinical bedside/table-side assessments of swallow function.

You will attend interdisciplinary patient care team meetings during your practicum. Toward the end, you may present our patients to the team.

The idea is to have fun, and to learn as much as possible!
