Dr. Martin-Harris is also Associate Professor in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, and in the Communication Sciences and Disorders Department of the College of Health Professions at MUSC. She is the Chair of the inaugural Specialty Board for Board Recognition in Swallowing and Swallowing Disorders (BRS-S), Chair of the Research Committee for the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's Special Interest Division 13: Swallowing and Swallowing Disorders, and serves on the membership committee for the Dysphagia Research Society.

Dr. Martin-Harris is a nationally and internationally renowned lecturer, and has published many chapters and articles in swallowing and swallowing disorders. Her present work is funded, in part, by a grant from the National Institutes on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (R03: DC0486-01) and the Mark and Evelyn Trammell Trust. Dr. Martin-Harris’s clinical and research interests are focused in the areas of laryngeal dynamics during swallowing and respiration, and vocalization. She is a reviewer for the American Journal of Speech Language Pathology, Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Dysphagia, Journal of Applied Physiology, and the Journal of Speech-Language-Hearing Research and is a member of the abstract review committee for The American Gastroenterological Association and the Dysphagia Research Society.
