Description
Presented by: Alicia K. Vose, PhD, CCC-SLP
AUDIENCE: Undergraduate, graduate students, Clinical Fellows, experienced clinicians, clinicians who would like to transition from school-based SLP to medical-based SLP.
This is not a talk about spinal cord injury—but rather about the unexpected ways that stepping outside the field of swallowing has transformed Dr. Vose’s approach to dysphagia rehabilitation. Over the past five years, Dr. Vose’s research has focused on respiratory neurorehabilitation, spinal plasticity, and neurotherapeutics, areas not traditionally covered in dysphagia coursework. Ironically, it was through studying other motor systems that she gained a deeper understanding of clinical care for swallowing disorders. In this talk, Dr. Vose will share 5 major insights from the broader world of neurorehabilitation that challenged her assumptions about dysphagia and offer practical strategies that SLPs can integrate into their clinical practice.

Presenter:
Alicia Vose, Ph.D. CCC-SLP is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology at the University of Florida (UF) College of Medicine – Jacksonville. She is a clinically trained speech pathologist with over a decade of experience, specializing in acute care and ICU settings. She earned her Ph.D. in Rehabilitation Science from UF in 2019, followed by a four-year translational science postdoctoral fellowship focused on respiratory physiology and neuroplasticity mechanisms. Currently, Dr. Vose’s research program focuses on the development of innovative rehabilitation strategies that leverage synaptic plasticity to promote long-term motor recovery for airway protection and breathing dysfunction in individuals with neurologic injuries, primarily spinal cord injury and stroke.
