Self-Efficacy and the Role of the Medical SLP: Believe You Can, Believe You Can’t—Either Way You Are Right
August 30, 2023
7:00 – 8:00 p.m., ET
Presented and sponsored by Encompass Health
Self-efficacy is a person’s belief in their ability to complete a task or achieve a goal. Over the years, self-efficacy has been gaining traction as a predictor of behavioral change and self-care management in health-related and educational research. It has been repeatedly demonstrated that high self-efficacy can positively influence recovery immediately following a variety of medical events as well as management of chronic medical conditions. On the professional front, self-efficacy has been proven to positively affect job satisfaction, supervision and mentorship of graduate clinicians, confidence with application of evidence-based practice and overall job performance. Join Nicole Link, a medical SLP in the IRF setting, as she discusses the numerous ways that SLPs can utilize self-efficacy interventions to support their patients throughout their recovery process as well as self-efficacy strategies to enhance their own clinical practice.

Nicole Link, MA, CCC-SLP, Lead SLP at Mount Carmel Rehabilitation Hospital, an Affiliate of Encompass Health
