112 - Where Did All the Audiologists Go? New Audiology Workforce Analysis Deep Dive with Dr. Victor Bray

Over the past two decades, the audiology workforce has not been keeping pace with an aging population that is increasingly in need of hearing and balance services. When compared to the growth rates of other similar allied health professions during that time, audiology's lack of growth is troubling.

In this episode, host Dave Kemp talks with Dr. Victor Bray about the recently published audiology workforce analysis he co-authored with Dr. Amyn Amlani. The pair also discuss Dr. George Osborne's original vision behind the AuD movement set forth decades ago and the importance for audiologists to obtain limited license practitioner status to ensure a sustainable future for the profession.
