What is a multidisciplinary clinic?
When individuals have complex medical needs, they often require the assessment skills of a variety of professionals. A multidisciplinary clinic allows the individual to stay in one place and have multiple providers see them at that time. The department of Speech-Language Pathology collaborates with multiple teams to provide multidisciplinary assessments so that several assessments may be completed in a short period of time. This allows for interaction between the providers, development of a comprehensive plan of care and increased convenience to patients and families.
