Colleagues,</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=347285821-29082005>I know of a peer who
currently holds a masters degree in speech pathology and is now working on a PhD
in Rehabilitative Sciences. Apparently there are few or no programs
in this geographical area which offer PhDs in speech path. I would like
your opinions as to how you feel this degree would be regarded in terms of a
faculty position in a speech pathology program. Do you think it will make
a difference to the degree holders hire-ability / marketability in the academic
arena when compared against someone holding a PhD in speech pathology or
communication disorders?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
