Audiology exam
 

Audiologists should not need to repeat or duplication of exam. As in most other states, it's handled as a professional regulatory license. If this is the case then physicians should not be exempt. Audiologists hold a minimum of a masters degree and in most cases a Doctorate degree in hearing and balance disorders.
