As an international speech-language pathologist (SLP), you provide speech therapy, speech rehabilitation, and related services to children and adults in other countries. Your duties can vary depending on the details of each assignment, but in general, you travel to the location and provide direct patient care. You assess the needs of each patient and develop a plan to improve their speech, communication, or swallowing. Your responsibilities in international speech-language pathology programs include working with people from other cultures, and you often work with a patient's family and peers so that they can learn alternative forms of communication.
