Episode Summary:
It’s no secret that being a clinician and being a researcher are two entirely different experiences. But, If you’re like me, you might wonder exactly what is going on in that “ivory research tower” and if you will ever manage to trudge your way through your muddy, clinical practice swamp to access the answers it promises to offer. We’re heavy on the metaphors in this serious yet engaging episode with Dr. Cathy Binger and Dr. Natalie Douglas, repeat offenders on SLP Nerdcast and great representations of a dual perspective on research. These clinicians turned implementation scientists guide us through the barriers and potential solutions to the ever widening research-practice gap with a candid discussion that challenges listeners to take on the perspective from both sides of the gap. Tune in to learn how to confront the preconceptions, break down the paywalls, and collaborate to achieve practical, accessible, and effective evidence-based clinical practice. You’ll enjoy some straight talk, some humble confessions, and a few made up words-not to mention awesome Neverending Story analogies.
