Summary
The primary function of this licensed pediatric audiologist position is to provide remote diagnostic services to infants across the state of New Mexico. The audiologist will be responsible for working with referral agents and coordinating the scheduling of appointments with testing assistants, test sites, and families. The audiologist will provide infant diagnosis using the state established protocol including but not limited to hearing history, otoscopic inspection, tympanometry, acoustic reflexes, otoacoustic emissions, ABR protocol (with ANSD check), bone conduction, tone burst and/or ASSR testing. After each test, a comprehensive report will be written and disseminated. In accordance with NMSD and HIPAA policies and procedures, this report will include appropriate follow-up referrals and recommendations. Organizational skills are imperative to this position given that additional charting and tracking will be essential.
