Speech‑Language Pathologists (SLPs) play a central role in assessing and treating voice, swallowing, and resonance disorders. With appropriate training, facility privileges, interdisciplinary support, and patient selection, endoscopic imaging can support FEES, functional voice evaluation, resonance assessment, and visual biofeedback in approved clinic, bedside, and outpatient settings. Videostroboscopy additionally requires a compatible synchronized strobe system, and medical diagnosis of laryngeal pathology requires physician interpretation.
