Summary

Imagine walking into a room where a team of physicians, physical therapists, and dietitians are sitting at the table discussing wound care.

Would you pause and slowly back out the door, hoping no one noticed?

Or would you pull up a seat at the table and join the discussion?

Ashley Muñoz López not only pulls up a seat, but she builds a bigger table!

In this episode of the Swallow Your Pride Podcast, host Theresa Richard and guest Ashley Muñoz López, MBA, MS, CCC-SLP, BCSS, discuss the importance of integrating speech-language pathology into the broader healthcare ecosystem. They focus on wound care prevention in the ICU, with Ashley sharing her experience of being nominated for a team quality and safety award for her efforts in this area.

Tune into this episode to understand your roles as an SLP when it comes to preventing wounds in the ICU, interdisciplinary considerations, and HOW you can snag that seat at the wound care table.
