Abstract

In our field, there exists little evidence related to the level of formation achieved by the speech and language therapist graduates from Chilean universities, or to the requirements which said professionals perceive from the labour market. Objective: To establish the perception which the Speech and Language Therapists have as to the extent that their formation meets the demands of the field. Method: Sixty Speech and Language Therapist graduates from the Universidad de Chile completed a questionnaire. The subjects were grouped into 2 sub-groups according to curricular modifications made by that university. Results: On comparing the perception of the achievement and the requirement on the part of the labour market, a clear difference can be seen in the results of the surveys. This difference is evident in all six speech and language therapy abilities considered when analysed not only with the difference between categories but also globally. Conclusions: The perception of the demands of the labour market is greater than the perception of the levels of formation received at university. Furthermore, the difference between both perceptions is influenced by the type of speech and language therapy ability and by the group to which it belongs.
