From Provisional to Permanent: Modernizing SLP Licensure & Mentorship in Virginia
Description
Virginia is shaking up SLP licensure. Dr. Jeanette Benigas, SLP, talks with Ed Bice, M.Ed./SLP, acting president of the Speech-Hearing Association of Virginia, about their petition to eliminate provisional licenses and grant full licensure to new grads immediately upon graduation. They unpack the petition’s purpose, address mentorship versus supervision, explore impacts on The Audiology & Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact, and discuss how Virginia’s model could inspire other states to modernize their systems.
