Neurodiagnostic Technology, A.A.S.

Neurodiagnostic Technology students learn how to perform EEGs and other technologies that assist with diagnosis of brain ailments. Those who complete the program will become eligible to sit for the national board exams, which provide the credential R. EEG T. to those who pass.

Neurodiagnostic Technology is the medical diagnostic field devoted to the recording and study of electrical activity in the brain and nervous system. Neurodiagnostic Technologists (EDT) are highly skilled professionals trained to perform electroencephalograms (EEG’s) in medical facilities and outpatient centers under the direct supervision of a health care provider. The EEG program not only is designed to foster the skills and knowledge necessary for competent practice, but also places emphasis on professional attitudes, values and behaviors that encourage the professional growth of the individual student. Clinical learning experiences are provided by affiliating hospitals, clinics and other outpatient facilities. Didactic learning experiences occur in supportive college course work delivered through an online environment and laboratory practice. Both are equally important to the development of the competent Neurodiagnostic Technologist. The Neurodiagnostic Technology Program has been developed to be consistent with standards and requirements of the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP). Upon completion of the EEG program graduates will be eligible to take the American Board of Registration in Electroencephalographic (ABRET) exam. Upon passing the ABRET exam, Neurodiagnostic Technologists have earned their Registered Electroencephalographic Technologist (R.EEG T) Certification.
