Down the Hatch - The Swallowing Podcast

96.3% of Speech Language Pathologist self-identify as female. In this episode of Down the Hatch Podcast, we are joined by 4 male SLPs to discuss the female dominance of our profession. Our guests Ryan Bransky, Rick McAdoo, Dan Weinstein, and Anthony Avitabile engage in a deep, tangential discussion (trigger warning: strong language at times). But rest assured that our conversation eventually touches on many points that, at some point, you all may have considered. Does it matter that we are so heavily female dominated? Would patients be served better with more male SLPs? Would we earn more money, more respect with more male colleagues? Listen to our opinions and, please, share yours!
