• Audiologist will support hearing-loss evaluation and treatment and the hearing-aid component of the practice
• Doctorate from an accredited/qualified Audiology program required

For physician recruitment, I would emphasize four things in outreach: immediate volume, two openings created by growth/succession planning, light shared call, and flexibility to build a subspecialty niche. Those are probably the strongest differentiators in what you provided.
