EEG Technologist

Overview

What You Will Do:

Electroneurodiagnostic technologists use instruments such as an electroencephalograph (EEG) machine, to record electrical impulses transmitted by the brain and the nervous system. These procedures help physicians diagnose brain tumors, strokes, toxic/metabolic disorders, epilepsy and sleep disorders. They also measure the effects of infectious disease on the brain, as well as determine whether individuals with mental or behavioral problems have an organic impairment. They determine "cerebral" death, the absence of brain activity, and assess the probability of recovery from a coma. Test performed by electrodiagnostic technologists are provided to neonatal, pediatric and adult patients as ordered by the physician.

What You Will Need:

• Must be a High School or GED Diploma grad with procedural experience in EEG procedures, and/or polysomnography (sleep) or respiratory therapy.
• Experience in EEG, polysomnography, or respiratory therapy.
• BCLS required. For EEG Tech Registered (PE03) must also be registered EEG Tech or registered Polysom Tech.
