Speech Pathologist Jobs in Maryland: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a speech pathologist in Maryland?
To become a speech pathologist in Maryland, you must earn a master's degree in speech-language pathology from an accredited program, then complete a Clinical Fellowship Year under a licensed supervisor. After that, you apply for licensure through the Maryland Board of Audiology, Hearing Aid Dispensers, and Speech-Language Pathologists, which requires passing the Praxis examination in Speech-Language Pathology. Most Maryland employers also expect or require the ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence before you practice independently.
How much do speech pathologists make in Maryland?
Speech pathologists in Maryland earn a median of about $99,190 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $63,480 for the lowest 10% to over $130,590 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire speech pathologists in Maryland?
Companies currently hiring speech pathologists in Maryland include Montgomery County Public Schools, MD, Strides Therapy & Educational Services, and The Therapy Spot, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Maryland's dense mix of large academic medical centers, rehabilitation networks, and public school systems means openings surface across a wide range of employer types throughout the state.
Which Maryland cities have the most speech pathologist jobs?
The cities with the most speech pathologist openings in Maryland are Baltimore, Silver Spring, and Gaithersburg. Baltimore drives the largest share of postings because of its concentration of academic medical centers and large public school districts, while the suburbs closer to Washington D.C. generate steady demand through outpatient rehabilitation groups and school systems serving densely populated Montgomery and Prince George's counties.
Are there remote speech pathologist jobs in Maryland?
Yes, but they're less common than in desk-based fields because most speech pathology roles involve direct patient or student contact. About 8% of speech pathologist openings tied to Maryland are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting modest but real telehealth adoption in the field. The roles most likely to offer remote flexibility are teletherapy positions serving school districts or outpatient clients with limited in-person access needs.
How can I get hired as a speech pathologist in Maryland with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing your Clinical Fellowship Year at a Maryland institution, which counts as supervised paid employment and builds the caseload experience employers want. University of Maryland Medical System and MedStar Health both offer Clinical Fellowship placements in hospital and rehabilitation settings, and Maryland public school districts regularly post CF positions for new graduates. Candidates with a completed ASHA-accredited master's degree, a Praxis score on file, and a provisional Maryland license are competitive for these roles even without prior independent clinical experience.
Where can I find and apply to speech pathologist jobs in Maryland?
You can find and apply to speech pathologist jobs in Maryland on Migrate Mate, which lists current Maryland openings across hospital systems, school districts, outpatient clinics, and rehabilitation settings.
