Job Description
Columbia Basin Hearing Center is a trusted leader in hearing healthcare across the Northwest, recognized for its integrity, compassion, and commitment to clinical excellence. As the practice continues to grow, they are expanding their team and seeking an Audiologist to join their Kennewick, WA location.
Position Overview
The Audiologist will provide comprehensive audiological services to a primarily adult patient population, with some pediatric cases.
