Читать книгу Start & Run a Medical Practice - Michael Clifford Fabian - Страница 8

An audiologist primarily assesses hearing and the things associated with hearing. Audiologists are experienced with a battery of basic and advanced testing relating to the ear and hearing. They are experienced with hearing-aid devices and prescribe them when needed after the necessary investigations, sometimes in collaboration with physicians. Their practices can branch out into the occupational work environment, hospitals, academic domain, or even into involvement with the music and entertainment industry. They might work independently, in an academic setting, or in a health-care facility.

Audiologists work closely with physicians in many situations. The office setup is often identical to a doctor’s office in terms of functionality. I have shared offices with audiologists, had them work in my office, as well as had a close working relationship with them in their independent offices.
