International Opportunities for Speech Language Pathologists/Therapists

Geriatric Population Increasing

The population is increasing in the Far East, Middle East and in advanced countries in the West due to availability of better health
facilities and improved medical care. Elderly people are prone to serious ailments such as Alzheimer’s Disease which is progressive in
nature and commences from mild memory loss leading to dementia. Speech, Language and at times swallowing difficulties occur
when Parkinson’s disease sets in.

Working Abroad

There is a big niche role in advanced countries for trained health care personnel who are available in sufficient numbers. Speech Language Pathology/SLT and Language Therapy in Asia. The general calls from members of “guest” foreign communities in Asia looking for SLP/SLT for their own language, researchers trying to contact international, professional associations in relation to their research, SLPs wanting to extend their experience by working abroad.

Speech Language Pathologists in Demand

Speech Language Pathologists/Therapists are in demand internationally as health systems have increased. With 50-60 graduates from Riphah International University becoming an integral part of healthcare, there is still an acute shortage of SLPs. The same is markedly pronounced in the Far East and Western countries.

Opportunities for SLP/T in Pakistan & Abroad

The strength of the SLPs in Pakistan needs to be increased to cater to the rapidly aging population here and in other countries as well. Riphah International University takes 4 years to produce a BS Speech Language Pathologist and an additional 2 years for MS in the same discipline. Employment opportunities for Speech Language Pathologists/Therapists exist both locally and internationally.
