As an audiologist there is a lot to learn. I will learn what an audiologist does, and the environment that they work in as well. I plan to learn how the equipment works. I will also learn what education is required for this career field but also how and where I can obtain the knowledge needed. What skills I need, also to obtain those as well, and the amount of schooling that is required, the degrees I must acquire. The things that I have learned and plan to gain and what I didn’t know.
