We have um specific deep dives where we just try to look at modified barium swallow studies and talk about complex dysphagia cases.

Um, always trying to talk about which patients are getting recommended for PEG tubes and which ones aren't so that there's that consistency within the department and also the kind of double checking.

And I think that

On one hand, that is what we're supposed to do as clinicians, right?

So on one hand, you're elevating your practice by having, you know, 20 years experience in the field.

You're simultaneously hiring clinicians who are newer in the department and you become

sort of without yourself even realizing it kind of an expert in the field.

And then when I think

People in outside departments, the respiratory, um, clinical nurse leadership are are starting to ask you to partnership on some of the projects that they're working on.

You know, the the trauma team is redoing their clinical practice guidelines, they need input, they would like input from speech pathology, they're you reaching out to you when you start to become

like you said, that forward facing person in the department.

Um, not that I'm the only one by any stretch, but that the

other groups are reaching out for your knowledge because they want that that back and forth and that brokering um

I think that's how that position comes to be.

And we in our department we have PTOT and speech, which you probably do too, Shauna, um, in this role.

And we're all kind of acting in our fields to

Increase this programming um

improve patient outcomes and and constantly kind of measure the work that we're doing and and reassess to make sure that this is

best for the patients.
