The NICU is a highly sought-after setting for our field, so why would one leave their NICU position? In episode 236 of SYP, I have the privilege of talking with Rebecca Smith, MS, CCC-SLP, CNT, CLC, about her journey into the NICU and back again as she's pursuing her PhD. Rebecca shares her NICU experience, tips for getting into the NICU, and the growing popularity of this setting. She discusses her experience with shifting to the outpatient setting and building that service line and shares why she opted for a PhD program. Rebecca dives into the research currently available in our field, how to use it, and how to add to it as well.
