NEURODIAGNOSTIC (EEG) PROGRAM
WHAT DO EEG TECHS DO?
Neurodiagnostic Technologists are highly skilled, and highly sought after medical professionals. Their specific skill set and level of professionalism is what really sets them apart from other healthcare professions. Although there are several modalities that a Neurodiagnostic Technologist can specialize in, recording electroencephalograms is what they are most known for.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
This program will focus on training Neurodiagnostic Technologists on how to apply cranial surface electrodes, and how to record an electroencephalogram. The program incorporates several different learning styles with classes that are online, college campus labs, and rotating hospital internships. It is designed not only to foster the skills and knowledge necessary for competent practice in EEG, but also places emphasis on professional attitudes, values and behaviors that encourage the professional growth of the individual student.
CLINICAL
Clinical learning experiences are provided by affiliating hospitals, clinics and other EEG provider facilities. Didactic learning experiences occur in supportive college course work delivered through an online environment. Both are equally important to the development of the competent EEG technologist.
POST-GRADUATE OUTCOMES
Upon completion of this program, students should feel confident and ready to take and pass the national registry board exams. A passing score will earn them the designation of R.EEG T.
