The market

How many speech-language pathologists work in Georgia

4,794 speech-language pathologists hold an active individual NPI with a practice address in Georgia, 42.4 per 100,000 residents, and 259 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?

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