Grad Student Panel! Here are some highlights of what we learned:

• How to choose a grad school
• make a list of what's important to you! (research interests, clinical experiences you want, etc.)
• know that some grad schools will give you general experience in many areas, while others will let you choose a "track" (ex: pediatric/school track, medical track, etc)
• Grad school includes externships!
• this is where you get assigned somewhere in the community to do clinical work (it's like your first job, without getting paid)
• great opportunity to network! - may help you find a place to do your CFY
• CFY = clinical fellowship year
• first year after completing your master's degree
• supervised
• must complete this to be a licensed SLP
• Find out if the grad school you end up going to offers a summer rotation to help you get your feet wet before the fall!
