Hartford Hospital

Our current Clinical Fellowship in Speech Language Pathology is with Hartford Hospital, one of the largest and most respected teaching hospitals New England. We are a Level 1 Trauma Center that provides cutting edge treatment to its patients. This is made possible by being home to the largest robotic surgery center in the Northeast and the Center for Education, Simulation and Innovation (CESI), one of the most-advanced medical simulation training centers in the world. When hospitals cannot provide the advanced care, expertise and new treatment options their patients require, they turn to us.

Position Description

There will be an emphasis on providing innovative and evidence-based care to the neurologically-impaired and medically-complex population, including specialized training in MBS and FEES procedures.
