<p>In the SLP space alone, there are over 300 kinds of certifications you can achieve in your professional development journey.</p>
<p>While certifications are completely optional and a personal decision based on your goals and current work situation, there are certain standards to consider when browsing your options.</p>
<p>One question to ask yourself is: “Is this certification accredited OR undergoing the accreditation process?”</p>
<p>Creating an accredited certification program is not something one can randomly do or purchase. I know…who would have thought?!</p>
<p>Accreditation is a rigorous, lengthy, and comprehensive process with multiple levels of accountability, subject matter experts, and psychometric methods.</p>
<p>And the MSLP-C™ Certification is months away from being accredited!</p>
<p>Friends, this was a pro cess. </p>
<p>We have shared a TON about the “why” behind this certification. In this week’s podcast we discuss the “how”! </p>
<p>Lori Morgan, PhD, CCC-SLP and Manny Straehle, PhD - a psychometrician (and data wizard, in my opinion) - join me to dive into the nitty gritty about the accreditation & certifying exam process for the MSLP™ Certification including:</p>
<p>how accreditation works<br />
why we need a psychometrician on the team<br />
why and how a certification exam is created (THIS was a doozy!!)<br />
the process of item-writing, research, and verification<br />
what the overall goal is with this optional certification.</p>
<p>Tune in and prepare to be blown away by how much work was done to ensure we are offering the highest quality certification program available to medical SLPs! </p>
