BACK TO SCHOOL

Back to school 2015: audiology and speech-language pathology.

By dcc2012 | August 21, 2015

UBC’s School of Audiology and Speech Sciences (SASS) is the only one of its kind in western Canada to educate audiologists and speech-language pathologists. SASS has built a national reputation for innovative thinking and research excellence.

This fall, we sat down with a few students to find out what attracted them to the School of Audiology and Speech Sciences, and what excites them about the year ahead.

Macaela MacWilliams

Program: M.Sc. in Speech-Language Pathology Program Year: 1 Hometown: Surrey, B.C.

What sparked your interest in pursuing a career in speech-language pathology? While working towards a career in teaching I had two amazing opportunities that led to a complete change in career goals. The first was working with a group of grade three children who had a variety of speech and language delays, and the other was working with adult professionals who were building their communication skills. These two experiences showed me that my true passion is for working as a speech-language pathologist.

What excites you the most about the 2015/2016 school year? I’m so excited to begin using my theoretical knowledge of speech and language for practical purposes during the clinical portions of the program.

What’s one thing we might be surprised to learn about you? It might be surprising to know that I was crazy enough to do two undergraduate degrees before applying to this program (English and Speech Sciences). Also, I’m one of those weird people who pronounce “schedule” as “shedule” (must be my British heritage!).

Where do you see yourself in five years? I hope to be working as a speech-language pathologist while continuing to conduct research on communication disorders and treatments (and maybe working towards a PhD)!

Kelsea Ross

Program: M.Sc. in Speech-Language Pathology Program Year: 1 Hometown: Kelowna, B.C.

What sparked your interest in pursuing a career in speech-language pathology? I am fascinated by the relationship between the conscious and unconscious mind in language. We know so much more than we think we do!

What excites you the most about the 2015/2016 school year? I am really looking forward to nerding out with my classmates over linguistic topics again. I took a year off school and have really missed academic conversations and bonding over things like phonology and figuring out what formants are. This year also holds the potential for self-growth, lifelong friendships, and endless opportunity. And that is not too shabby at all.

What’s one thing we might be surprised to learn about you? I rocked a cowprint spandex race suit on the ski hill until I stopped racing at the end of high school. No snowboards for this girl.

Where do you see yourself in five years? I see myself established in a to-be-determined city, probably in B.C. because we have all the mountains and hopefully snow. I see myself helping other people through speech pathology, a job that I love and am fulfilled by, and balancing out my life with activities like yoga, hiking, and skiing, and nurturing my creativity through art and food.

Alannah Turner

Program: M.Sc. in Speech-Language Pathology Program Year: 1 Hometown: Vancouver, B.C.

What sparked your interest in pursuing a career in speech-language pathology? I developed vocal nodes while performing in a show and my ENT sent me to see a speech-language pathologist. After my first appointment it was as though a light bulb went on! I didn’t know much about the field, but the more I researched, the more I knew I was meant to be a speech and language pathologist.

What excites you the most about the 2015/2016 school year? I am excited to shape a thesis project in an area that I find so fascinating, and to learn about clinical treatments for communication disorders.

What’s one thing we might be surprised to learn about you? My undergraduate degree is in theatre! I can mime, tap dance and have been known to suddenly break into song. I also perform stand-up comedy!

Where do you see yourself in five years? I hope to have a practice treating vocal disorders in B.C., and to be a part of a craniofacial team working with children.

Veronica Letawsky

MSc, RSLP, SLP(C)

Doctoral Student

Veronica Letawsky is a PhD student at the University of British Columbia’s School of Audiology and Speech Sciences. Expanding on her master’s thesis, Veronica’s doctoral research is focused on exploring the link between swallowing physiology and salivary biomarkers in healthy and disease conditions. This includes investigating volumetric and compositional changes in saliva and how these changes affect swallowing physiology and perception in those with chronic autoimmune conditions like Sjogren’s syndrome. In doing so, she is also exploring the utility of more in-depth saliva evaluations as part of swallowing assessments to inform dysphagia management. Veronica has completed training in salivary bioscience at the University of California-Irvine’s Institute for Interdisciplinary Salivary Bioscience Research and has a diploma in linguistics from UBC and a BSc in biological sciences from the University of Alberta.

Director’s Message

March 7, 2022

Welcome to the School of Audiology and Speech Sciences at UBC where we educate the next generation of audiologists, speech-language pathologists, and clinician scientists, and we engage in research to create new knowledge and innovative treatment of human communication and its disorders.

The School has experienced tremendous growth in the last 5 years! We have welcomed several new faculty and staff as well as an enlarged SLP student body. These increases have brought energy, vision, and synergies to the School as a whole and led to many opportunities for advancing our research and educational programs. For example, the School’s research expertise and reputation have been broadened in the areas of developmental speech and language, acquired language disorders, swallowing and its disorders, and hearing science. Our curriculum has also expanded in offering more interprofessional training opportunities and case-based learning modules, as well as support for an Aboriginal Community Learning Experience Coordinator who facilitates activities to nurture cultural sensitivity in clinical practice.

Like other departments on campus, the School has felt the acute and prolonged impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, the last two years have seen us generate creative solutions to sustain our clinical education and research programs in the face of public health restrictions. For instance, to meet students’ clinical education needs, we developed and piloted several in-house clinical training programs, some of which benefited from interprofessional partnerships on campus. In addition, instructors and students found it necessary to pivot from in-person to virtual teaching/learning and research activities. Although these transitions have been disruptive, they have also opened up doors for discovering alternative methods to achieving our instructional and research goals.

I am grateful for and proud of the collective energy, resilience, and resourcefulness that our School members have sustained during these extraordinary times. I am also reminded that our accomplishments build on a rich heritage and reputation established by our emeriti and alumni. We invite you to browse through our website to learn more about our history, faculty, staff, academic programs, and our supportive clinical community.

In anticipation of turning the corner on this pandemic in 2022, we look forward to engaging the School community in a strategic planning process that will strengthen our collective resolve and capacity to “ advance knowledge of human communication, its disorders and related areas in order to improve health and quality of life for all individuals within their communities .”

  • both LING 313 and 314; and
  • either LING 300 or 311; and

These 6 credits may include any LING courses numbered 300 or higher and any of the pre-approved upper-level courses in related areas listed on the Department of Linguistics website . Courses not listed on the website must be approved by the Linguistics Undergraduate Advisor. Students intending to apply for admission to a graduate program in Speech-Language Pathology or Audiology can use these credits to meet admission eligibility requirements for specific programs they will be applying to (e.g., AUDI 402, AUDI 403, PSYC courses).

Note: undergraduate students may enroll in graduate-level courses if they meet the requirements; see http://www.calendar.ubc.ca/vancouver/index.cfm?tree=12,204,342,1530 and https://www.grad.ubc.ca/forms/enrolment-undergraduate-students-graduate-course for more information.
