Treating Eating: Maximizing Interdisciplinary Collaboration Between SLPs and Registered Dietitians

Dysphagia and malnutrition are two distinct, yet highly related, conditions. Considering the close relationship between these conditions, it is crucial that the primary providers for each of these conditions mirror this closeness in their clinical practice. This talk will review the results of a mixed methods survey study to evaluate the current status of interdisciplinary collaboration between Speech-Language Pathologists (SLP) and Registered Dietitians (RD). Further the results of this work establish facilitators and barriers to successful collaboration that can be translated into meaningful change within the various institutions where SLPs and RDs converge.
