Recent research conducted by this week’s guest, Diana Emanuel, PhD of Towson University, suggests that an astounding 60% of audiologists find their way into the profession via the “undergraduate-stumble pathway.” That is, they find audiology through a circuitous route during their first few years of college, typically changing from speech pathology to audiology.
Professor Emanuel discusses how this in-direct career pathway affects the profession. Additionally, Professor Emanuel reviews her research on occupational stress in audiologists. The three major stresses being time, patient care and administrative tasks and offers insights on how to overcome them.
