“I'm looking for a guy in finance…” Okay, while that's the start of a recent viral song, I spoke with an SLP who *was* in finance. Fred Stahl is a second-career medical SLP who shares how he went from hedge fund management to voice and dysphagia management for head and neck cancer survivors. Together we discuss why he left finance for speech pathology, his learning experience, his involvement in a research study on swallowing (and the unexpected findings), and the incredibly dynamic nature of our field. From embracing opportunities to learning from failures, Fred's insight is both eye-opening and incredibly motivating! Tune in and get inspired. Get show notes here: https://syppodcast.com/332 Fred Stal is a Speech-Language Pathologist and Certified Brain Injury Specialist. He completed his initial training and clinical fellowship through Cleveland Clinic Rehabilitation Hospital. Currently, Fred works in the outpatient setting as well as per diem in the acute care setting. He recently published research as a co-author with the NYU Swallowing Research Lab, which was presented by the incredible lead author at the 2024 Dysphagia Research Society conference in Puerto Rico. His main areas of clinical interest include dysphagia management, upper airway disorders, and most of all… all things related to the head and neck cancer population.

In this special episode of the podcast Natalie meets with Associate Honorary Treasurer of the BLA, Chadwan Al Yaghchi, to discuss the programme and the topics they are looking forward to hearing about: from dysphagia to airway management, speech and language therapy to COVID sequelae, paediatric services to airway management – Cutting Edge Laryngology has it covered! Chad and Natalie are particularly excited about the keynote lectures from President of the Union of the European Phoniatricians and the Finnish Laryngological Society, Ahmed Geneid, on office based laryngology, and President of Dysphagia Research Society, Jacqueline Allen, on negotiating laryngological uncertainty. This year the conference will be held virtually, meaning that the panel of experts can be truly global. Alongside Ahmed from Finland and Jacqui from New Zealand will be other international speakers, including Farzaneh Ahmadi from Western Sydney University, presenting her bionic voice prosthesis for the first time in the UK, Craig Derkay, possibly the father of RRP new therapeutics, from Eastern Virginia Medical School, and long-standing friend and supporter of the BLA, Marshall Smith from the University of Utah.Attendees will be active participants with the chance to ask questions and participate in panel discussions and enjoy live poster sessions featuring slides and a presentation.

In this awesome conversation, we get to really go deep with Dr. Malandraki, talking about her most recent work on the developmental stages of the nervous system, some very helpful papers and resources that she recommends, muscle tone issues in infants, and the gaps that she has noticed in the pediatric care systems, that still persist today. For all this, and a whole lot more great insight, where it is so badly needed, listen in with us to hear what Dr. Malandraki has to say!

Now we have all felt isolated in the world of Pediatric Feeding and Swallowing Disorders, especially when it comes to evidenced based strategies for evaluations and interventions…overlooked by the massive amount of data for our adult peers and the apparent scant for pediatrics…but that changes today! Donna is here to provide her inside first hand experience, knowledge, and expertise about the amazing endeavors that are being undertaken by various organizations, (BCS-S, The Dysphagia Research Society, and ASHA SIG 13), to not only fill the void, but to propel us forward!! Three cheers and “Hooah” are in order for this uplifting hour!

All hail Dr. Susan Langmore, First of Her Name, Queen of Dysphagia Research Society, Predictor of Aspiration Pneumonia, and Mother of FEES! It's episode 100 so we pulled out the big guns. Dr. Langmore takes us back to the origin of FEES.
