The market

How many speech-language pathologists work in Oklahoma

2,466 speech-language pathologists hold an active individual NPI with a practice address in Oklahoma, 59.8 per 100,000 residents, and 114 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?

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