The market

How many audiologists work in Kentucky

263 audiologists hold an active individual NPI with a practice address in Kentucky, 5.7 per 100,000 residents, and 1 new ones enrolled in the last twelve months. A high wage with few clinicians per capita usually means employers are competing for people; a low one in a crowded market means the opposite.

Licensed in another state?

Kentucky has enacted the ASLP-IC but is not yet issuing compact privileges, so audiologists and speech-language pathologists licensed elsewhere still need a Kentucky license for now.
