QUESTION 6 OF 30

What do you feel is the single most important quality a speech pathologist should possess?

The Admissions Officer at Boston University wants evidence that you have insight into a Speech Pathologist's desired qualities and characteristics. This question presents an opportunity to give a unique answer, so try to dig deeper than "good communication skills" or "strong attention to detail."

Some qualities that a successful SLP might have include:

- Unrelenting drive
- Desire for improvement
- Accountability
- Patience and fortitude
- Integrity
- Optimism
- Self-confidence

"I believe that the single most important quality an SLP should possess is the ability to create a safe space for their patients. My desire for every patient is that they can come to me and be vulnerable with me about their communication struggles. This way, we can create a set of goals, and I can incorporate their most important goals into their therapy plan."
