CAMP Acute Care with Brooke Richardson
March 1 - 31, 2025
CAMP Acute Care is a month-long accelerated online learning experience that gets you to the finish line fast.
CAMPs are Clinical Applications Mentoring Programs where you'll get the benefits of mentoring and the convenience of self-paced learning. Plus, you keep one year of unlimited access to the on-demand modules after completing CAMP.
Due to their intimate nature, CAMPs are small and offered only 1-2 times a year.
Don't miss it!

Live Mentoring Calls
To accommodate work schedules and different time zones, we'll have two live mentoring calls.
- Mar. 13, 2025 | 7:00 - 8:15pm Eastern
- Mar. 27, 2025 | 2:00 - 3:15pm Eastern
You'll have access to the recordings, but you're strongly encouraged to attend the live calls to get the most out of your experience (and get a bonus for attending live).
PS, don't worry -- we can always turn off recording if there are any sensitive questions asked during a call.
What SLPs say about CAMP Acute Care
"Great for introduction to setting, will recommend to others!"
"CAMP gives a good rundown of all things that you can run across in acute care.
It helps to answer the basic questions and gets you thinking and reflecting about how I currently practice.
Really informative and I was able to start implementing information the next day."
"Being able to go at my own pace and always having access to the instructor when I had questions"
How do I know if CAMP is right for me?
Modern MedSLP CAMPs, or Clinical Applications Mentoring Programs, offer a MODERN way for SLPs to learn.
CAMP is a focused, one-month learning experience where you'll complete on-demand modules and get the support of live mentoring calls.
To keep you on the path to mastery, concepts will build on what you learned the week prior. You'll also be given calls to action to apply your new knowledge in practice.

Frequently Asked Questions about CAMP
Who's CAMP for?
This virtual CAMP is designed for SLPs & students who appreciate the convenience of self-paced learning but who also learn best with mentoring and interactive learning methods. It's really, really helpful for people who also benefit from being held accountable so that procrastination doesn't kick in!
CAMP is not for people who can't commit to the program timeframe or for people who want self-paced learning without the mentorship program. In that case, I recommend a self-paced course or specialty track instead.
Why should I join CAMP?
There are many benefits of joining a CAMP! To name a few:
... way less expensive than traveling to attend a live talk, or for other online mentoring programs
... engaging, interactive learning through live mentoring calls
... CAMPs use a "flipped classroom" model, which can help you retain the information better (source)
... on-demand modules can be completed at your pace
... more in-depth learning, with clinical applications and calls to action
... networking and making connections with SLP colleagues
... and so many more!
What's the time commitment?
Generally, CAMP runs for a calendar month. Each CAMP is broken down into manageable on-demand modules and two live mentoring sessions.
You'll have an additional 2 weeks from the last official day of CAMP to complete any remaining lessons, the survey, and the form for a certificate and ASHA CE reporting. Effectively, you'll finish the course in 6 weeks or less!
The number and length of on-demand modules varies depending on the CAMP topic. Most modules are 2 hours or shorter.
Live calls are usually about every 2 weeks during CAMP, and each call is ~1 hour 15 minutes long.
When you sign up for CAMP, you'll have one-year access to the on-demand modules after CAMP ends. This way, you can revisit lessons at your own pace even after you've graduated from CAMP.
Who runs CAMP?
Brooke Richardson, MS, CCC-SLP runs every CAMP. Brooke is an American SLP-- yep, still practicing!-- who has been caring for adults with complex medical needs since 2009, and has started numerous communication and swallowing programs in the ICU & acute care settings. You can read more about Brooke here.
Why does CAMP exist?
As a practicing clinician and trusted mentor, now with years of teaching experience under her belt, Brooke noticed a huge gap in SLP education, things like:
SLPs not having enough mentorship during or after the education process; lots of boring or fluffy continuing education courses; no carryover of what was learned in a classroom; expensive certifications; and lost income when traveling for in-person courses. SLPs deserve better!
Why not get the benefits of mentorship with the convenience of online learning?!
Thus, Modern MedSLP CAMPs were born.
Do you guarantee a promotion, raise, or dream job as a result of going through CAMP?
While I'd love to be able to guarantee a promotion or a raise, I'm unfortunately not a fortune teller (otherwise I'd have won the lotto by now!). What I can guarantee is that you'll be given the tools, education, and support you need to understand the CAMP topic and get you well on your way on the path of competence.
Do I get a certification or extra letters after my name after I complete CAMP?
Nope! And honestly? You don't need those things to practice! You do get a certificate of completion for every CAMP and every course you take. Most, if not all, of my CAMPs and courses are also registered for ASHA CEUs; see the details on each page.

What if I sign up for CAMP and can't complete it?
Life happens. If you sign up in good faith and an emergency happens, please send me an email right away so I can help to make accommodations for you, which may mean extending your access to modules without ASHA CEU reporting. Please don't wait until after CAMP has ended to contact me.
Do you offer 1:1 Mentoring, or help with tough patient cases and program development?
YES! I offer mentoring outside of CAMPs.
A great option is the asynchronous mentoring program, SLP Mentor in My Pocket. You can join this any time, if space is available.
If you want 1:1 mentoring -- or just to ask questions about a challenging case you have, send me an email to see if I have expertise that meets your needs. If so, we'll take it from there! My rates are $75 for a half-hour of my expertise. You can read more about mentoring here and learn more about my clinical expertise here.
