Speech-language pathologists
Speech-language pathologist recruiting for medical and practice settings
Speech-language pathologist recruiting here is for medical SLPs and practice leaders: acute, inpatient rehab, outpatient and multi-site directors. The brief should name the caseload, the productivity rule and the CCC-SLP requirement.
What should a speech-language pathologist compare before a move?
Compare the caseload (dysphagia, aphasia, cognition, voice, pediatrics), the productivity model and whether flexible endoscopic or modified-barium studies are part of the week.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes national wage estimates for speech-language pathologists. Use the handbook as context for the offer in front of you.

- Setting: acute, inpatient rehab, outpatient, or a director role across sites.
- Credential: CCC-SLP, state licensure, and any required endoscopy competency.
- Team: PT and OT colleagues, and how referrals actually arrive.

What should a rehab director clarify before an SLP search?
Clarify the medical caseload, the productivity number, and whether the seat is a treating SLP or a leader over PT, OT and speech.
