"I feel that the most concerning issue in the speech-language pathology field is the volume of caseloads when working in the public sector. I have some industry colleagues who will have over 80 cases at one time. I think it would be great for participating universities to emphasize the SLP education path to attract additional program participants. What do you feel are the most concerning issues facing the SLP medical community today?"
