Summary

In the SLP space alone, there are over 300 kinds of certifications you can achieve in your professional development journey.

While certifications are completely optional and a personal decision based on your goals and current work situation, there are certain standards to consider when browsing your options.

One question to ask yourself is: “Is this certification accredited OR undergoing the accreditation process?”

Creating an accredited certification program is not something one can randomly do or purchase. I know…who would have thought?!

Accreditation is a rigorous, lengthy, and comprehensive process with multiple levels of accountability, subject matter experts, and psychometric methods.

And the MSLP-C™ Certification is months away from being accredited!

Friends, this was a pro cess.

We have shared a TON about the “why” behind this certification. In this week’s podcast we discuss the “how”!

Lori Morgan, PhD, CCC-SLP and Manny Straehle, PhD - a psychometrician (and data wizard, in my opinion) - join me to dive into the nitty gritty about the accreditation & certifying exam process for the MSLP™ Certification including:

how accreditation works
why we need a psychometrician on the team
why and how a certification exam is created (THIS was a doozy!!)
the process of item-writing, research, and verification
what the overall goal is with this optional certification.

Tune in and prepare to be blown away by how much work was done to ensure we are offering the highest quality certification program available to medical SLPs!
