Thank you for trusting me as your no-nonsense, no-judgment mentor! I look forward to being the mentor you can call on when Google doesn't have the answers and when online forums are feeling unfriendly.

SLP Mentor in My Pocket provides insights that go beyond what can be learned in a classroom or course; the goal is to help clinicians bridge the gap between theory and practice, and to help you get unstuck with tricky cases.
Our service doesn't replace coursework, and SLPs/SPs/SLTs using this service are expected to have at least foundational knowledge in the field. We may occasionally recommend courses in our responses if we feel you could use additional, formal education in a topic area.
Our mentors are practicing Medical SLPs with decades of experience caring for adults in medical settings across the continuum. They're active mentors in the SLP world, whether in clinic or online, and are consistently sought out to answer fellow SLPs' clinical questions.
While our mentors are highly qualified across diverse patient populations, they serve as primary mentors in certain topic areas to give you the best experience possible. As Mentor in My Pocket continues to grow, so will our core group of vetted mentors.
Brooke Richardson, MS, CCC-SLP is the primary mentor for the majority of topics.
Chad Richardson, MS, CCC-SLP is the primary mentor in laryngectomy / TEP.

Not usually, as long as your question pertains to Adult Medical SLP and can be answered in this format. The more focused and specific the question, the faster the response.
We can't answer questions like those asking us to develop a patient's plan of care; that appear to be asking the mentors to complete any portion of an assignment, presentation, project, etc.; seeming to be submitted by a group of people through one account; containing PHI; requiring an in-depth, back-and-forth conversation (1:1 consultations are a separate service that Brooke provides).
Although it's unlikely that we're unable to answer your question, if that happens we'll send you an email to discuss options and alternatives.

Members may not share account access with, or ask questions on behalf of, other clinicians.
Nope! The beauty of asynchronous mentoring is that you can ask your question any time, and it'll be answered by a mentor at the next opportunity. It doesn’t get more convenient than that! Our mentors have decades of clinical experience working in the USA healthcare system.
The privacy and security of patients and clients is paramount. You may not ask questions containing any identifying information (PHI).
No. This service is offered for educational purposes only for practicing SLPs/SPs/SLTs; your expertise and licensure are key. When you use Mentor in My Pocket, you agree to all terms and conditions.
