EPIC is….a way to “rethink and transform clinical practice especially (but not only) for underserved populations."
Equity is fair and just access for all.
Population is ALL people, places, communities.
Innovation is thinking differently, creatively, imaginatively.
Communication is how we make meaning together.
Equitable Population Innovations for Communication (EPIC) is a framework that was developed to address the large scale inequity in speech-language pathology and audiology practices. It provides key thinking tools that challenge us to question, rethink, reimagine our practices. We envision this website as a space for that reimagining - a place where new, different and otherwise forms of speech-language pathology and audiology practices can be shared and created through deeply engaging with each other. Join in on the conversation. Together, we can make a change.
Innovation, growth, unity and teamwork
In promoting EPIC practices, we seek to raise awareness of alternatives to personal, individualized health care.” (Pillay & Kathard, 2018).
