Today we have the incredible Erin McCarthy on today! We discussed oral care and NVHAP. This sounds super simple, I get it! However, this is so important and one of those things we don't learn in-depth in graduate school. Now we have people dedicating their lives and research to this super important first step! Have you heard of NVHAP? Nope, I hadn't either.. (can you guess who works primarily with pediatrics?) Take a listen to learn more about this and learn from this incredible leader in our field.. did I mention she is affiliated with many organizations, universities, and starting her own business! This SLP does more in a day than I most likely do in a month.. check her out!
