(3 credits) SLPD 7700—Test and Measurement This course provides a foundation in the basic principles of measurement with a focus on how to assess and control for error through research design methods and statistical analysis. Students will explore test construction and methods and parsimonious data analysis methods to develop an understanding for designing instruments and assessment tools. Topics in the course will also include survey implementation, sampling, data collection, follow-up, and ethical issues. A focus on issues specific to measurement error in the medical science will be examined throughout the course as well. (3 credits) SLPD 8082—Interprofessional Teams and Teaming This course examines the dynamics and complexities of interprofessional teams in various healthcare and community settings. Doctoral students will explore theoretical frameworks; research evidence; and best practices for effective teamwork, communication, collaboration, and conflict resolution. They will also gain practical skills for leading and participating in interprofessional teams through case studies, simulations, and collaborative projects. In addition, this course will include Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety (TeamSTEPPS) Master training. (3 credits) SLPD 8083—Innovation in Interprofessional Leadership This course explores the dynamic landscape of interprofessional leadership, equipping you with the knowledge, skills, and critical thinking necessary to drive innovation in healthcare and other complex settings. Students will engage in critical reflection, challenge assumptions, and propose solutions to complex challenges in interprofessional leadership. (3 credits) SLPD 8084—Advancing Collaborative Healthcare This doctorate course explores research, innovative practices, and emerging trends in collaborative healthcare. Students will investigate the complexities of healthcare systems; analyze interprofessional collaboration (IPC) models; and explore strategies to advance teamwork for improved patient outcomes, population health, and system-wide efficiency. They will gain critical thinking skills, analyze research, and propose solutions to current challenges in collaborative care delivery. (3 credits) SLPD 8090—Applied Dissertation Services I The applied dissertation is a detailed, accurate, and cohesive account of a scholarly investigation designed to answer a research question directed toward the improvement of practice in the field of speech-language pathology. Research is distinguished by a theory-to-practice model encompassing a diversity of disciplines. Each student is assigned a faculty committee to facilitate and supervise the process. This course provides dissertation services for students who are entering the 25th month of the doctoral program. (1 credit) SLPD 8091—Applied Dissertation Services II This course provides dissertation services for continuing doctoral students previously enrolled in SLPD 8090. SLPD 8091 is also for currently enrolled students who are entering the 37th month of the doctoral program. Students are responsible for registering for SLPD 8091 each semester until the completion of the applied dissertation. (1 credit) SLPD 8820—Telehealth Concepts, Applications, and Future Trends Telehealth involves any technology-medicated communication that facilitates health services, such as the exchange of information in coordinating patient care. This course explores the foundational concepts that support telehealth within a healthcare environment, including information privacy and security standards that support health information systems and technologies. Students will examine the current applications of telehealth and propose recommendations that resolve common issues within clinical settings. The course has an emphasis on the legal and ethical considerations with implementing telehealth programs. Furthermore, students will appraise future trends by reviewing current telehealth products and anticipating upcoming innovations or practices. (4 credits)
