Dialogue ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Speech Language Pathology Student Bursary: 2019-2020 Recipients

Dialogue ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ and ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ School of Communication Sciences and Disorders are proud to bring to your attention the name of the recipients of the 2019-2020 Speech Language Pathology Student Bursary. Congratulations to the five winners: Maude Brisson-McKenna, Daniel Dunn, Lindsay Giberson, Adèle Guérard-Lakrout and Ève-Amélie Roy.

It is generally agreed that the best patient-provider communication is achieved when healthcare providers and patients speak the same language. This observation is beyond dispute when it comes to speech-language pathology. How could this professional develop, rebuild and maintain a person’s capacity to communicate and integrate in his environment without mastering the patient’s language? However, the lack of professionals in speech-language therapy capable of meeting the needs of the English-speaking minority in most regions of Quebec has been emphasized by both community networks working with this community and health and social services institutions.

Against this backdrop, Dialogue ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ, whose mission is to contribute to a better access for English-speaking Quebecers to health and social services in their own language, created the Speech-Language Pathology Student Bursary Program. This bursary is designed for students capable of intervening in both English and French, enrolled full-time in the Master’s (applied) program at the ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ School of Communication Sciences and Disorders. For each bursary awarded, recipients must commit to staying in Quebec following the successful completion of their studies to work for a minimum of one year in a public health and social services institution or related organization. Next call for applications will be announced in autumn 2020.
