CMS didn’t create a new rule—they just enforced an old one in a new way. And it’s exposing the weakness in our entire clinical fellowship (CF) model. In this episode, Dr. Jeanette Benigas and Preston Lewis, MS/SLP, explain how ASHA’s CF requirement has now become a national liability, why CMS won’t listen to petitions, and what Fix SLP is doing instead. From the collapse of provisional licensure to a bold plan to rewrite state policies, this is the real story behind what’s shaking up SLP right now.

We’re not asking CMS to reverse course—we’re asking for a delay while we fix the problem ourselves. This is your call to action.
