Given (1) the strong mutual interest in developing improved methods to assess voice quality at LL and the MGH Center for Laryngeal Surgery and Voice Rehabilitation and (2) the fact that there are already SHBT students at both institutions actively engaged in voice quality projects, it was decided to establish the Voice Quality Study Group (VQSG) that would include the SHBT students and interested staff members at the two institutions. The main goals of the VQSG are:
