There are so many CFs joining the field, and there are also so many brand new SLPs that just finished their CFs!
This is such an exciting time for all of you. I remember being there myself, and I have learned so much since then.
I have had my fair share of lessons and made so many mistakes, so I am sharing the five tips that I have for brand new CFs in this episode.
In This Episode You’ll Discover:
- The reason it is okay to not know everything
- The tools you have to figure everything out
- Why you shouldn’t be afraid to ask questions
- Who to go to when you need help
- How to pivot when you need to
- The importance of staying flexible
- Why you need to stand up for what you believe in
- Why you need to be open to the opinions of others

I hope this episode along with my five key tips help you feel prepared and ready for your clinical fellowship year.
