Clinical evaluation and treatment experience in the areas of motor speech, language, cognition, swallowing, speech generating devices and alternative communication.She is very deserving of this fellowship and will make a big difference in the lives of her future patients.”Īs an Outpatient Speech-Language Pathology Fellow, Melton will complete an intensive program focused on learning to apply didactic information to clinical practice with patients who have a wide range of disorders, in the outpatient medical setting. She takes responsibility for her own learning and always comes prepared with the most current evidence-based techniques. She is a natural with clients, putting them at ease and helping them to feel safe to take risks as they work to recover and rehabilitate. “She always volunteered for opportunities that gave her enhanced experiences, even though they added to her workload. “From the beginning of her entry into our graduate program, Jacqueline demonstrated excellence in both her academic studies and in her drive to develop her clinical skills,” adds Lisa Sommers, Clinical Associate Professor of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences and the Clinical Director of the Center for Language, Speech, and Hearing. What a tremendous honor for her and our program.” “All SLP graduates go on to complete a fellowship year, but this opportunity that she competed for is more like the equivalent of a residency in medical school,” notes Associate Professor of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences Jacquie Kurland. Melton will serve her clinical year in the program. The fellowship is a highly competitive, nationally-recognized award given to only one individual each year. Jacqueline Melton, a second-year graduate student who will earn her master's degree in speech-language pathology (SLP) this May, has been selected as the 2023-24 Outpatient Speech-Language Pathology Fellow by Johns Hopkins Hospital.
