dc.description.abstract	Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are medical professionals that treat clients from birth to death. End-of-life (EOL) care encompasses a variety of aspects which requires a change in mindset for the rehabilitative and medical field. This study explored the various educational experiences, perceived competence, and knowledge of SLPs in EOL care. Survey research was implemented to gain insight into the current training methods, perceived competency levels, and overall knowledge of SLPs in EOL care. This research adds to the growing body of literature that supports the need for specific training and competence in the various multifactorial areas of EOL in efforts to increase the quality and quantity of speech-language pathology services to those at EOL and to promote patient outcomes, caregiver satisfaction, and overall quality of life. Keywords: speech-language pathologist training, end-of-life, death/dying	en_US
