374 – Building Confidence in FEES: The Key to Successful Swallowing Assessments
What happens when a passionate SLP flies to Hawaii to train a hospital team in FEES—and ends up learning just as much as she teaches?
In this episode, Theresa shares the powerful, behind-the-scenes story of a multi-day FEES training in a hospital system. From the logistics (yes, including rolled up manila folders) to the deeply human moments (like helping a burn patient eat for the first time in months), you’ll hear exactly what it takes to build confident, compassionate FEES providers—without throwing anyone to the wolves.
This isn’t just about technique. It’s about mindset. Mentorship. The language we use. The space we create. And the incredible ripple effect it all has on patient care.
Whether you're a seasoned FEES mentor or considering your very first pass, this story-driven episode will leave you inspired, empowered, and maybe even a little teary-eyed (in the best way).
