Dysphagia education in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: student self-competency ratings during their dysphagia course

Regardless of DCVT domain, SLT graduate student clinicians were more likely to perceive themselves as "adequate" in their ratings at the second timepoint following clinical interactions, if they had prior SLT experience, including prior dysphagia experience. Training programs exploring dysphagia competency are encouraged to provide increased exposure to patients with dysphagia to support increased self-perceived competency scores.
