2014 - A Year in Review
2014 has been an outstanding year for SpeechPathology.com thanks to the efforts of remarkable presenters and the enthusiasm of our members! Our goal every year is to provide top-quality continuing education that is practical and relevant for SLPs and this year is no exception. In addition to adding over 100 new courses to our continuing education library, we launched the Vanderbilt SLP Journal Club, offered a 6 credit course series on pediatric oral-motor feeding disorders and presented a month-long series on SSD/Cleft Palate series to a sell-out audience. Additionally, our Fifth Annual Nancy McKinley Lecture Series was a huge success resulting in our largest donation to the Nancy McKinley Scholarship Fund.
As the year comes to a close, we would like to recognize the top courses of 2014 with an average viewership of 750 views per course!
