Abstract
The purpose of this multidisciplinary Mentoring Environment Grant was to support students as they mastered novel objective methodologies for quantifying voice function. Speech pathology graduates who are skilled in novel technologies to document voice function are significantly more marketable for competitive medical speech-language pathology employment. The context for education in these novel measures included a series of studies involving the effects of voice dryness and new hydration treatments to improve voice function.
