Electroneurodiagnostics

Electroneurodiagnostics (END) Technologists perform medically necessary testing, slated to assist neurology physicians in the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of patients with neurological disorders. A career as an electroneurodiagnostic technologist may include working with patients with a variety of neurological disorders. Such disorders may include, but not be limited to: seizures, stroke, head trauma, nerve and muscle related disorders, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease. The Ivy Tech Electroneurodiagnostics program is a collaboration between IU Health (formally Clarian Health Partners) and Ivy Tech Community College. The Electroneurodiagnostics program has specific admission criteria. Please contact your campus of interest for additional detail regarding this program. The Ivy Tech Community College Electroneurodiagnostics program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP).

SAMPLE CAREERS IN THIS FIELD Electroencephalographic (EEG) Technologists record brain activity to diagnose neurological disorders such as seizures. Evoked Potential (EP) Technologists record data from sensory pathways to detect illnesses, like Multiple Sclerosis. Long Term Monitoring (LTM) Technologists work with intensive care patients and candidates for removal of brain tissue. Neurophysiologic Interoperative Monitoring (NIOM) Technologists work in the operating room. Nerve Conduction Study (RNCST) Technologists perform tests to evaluate nerve disorders.

ASSOCIATE OF APPLIED SCIENCE IN ELECTRONEURODIAGNOSTICS (Minimum of 60 credit hours)
Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree programs are two-year programs that prepare students for careers, career changes and career advancement. Students who need to take longer to complete the degree because of job or family obligations can take the program over a longer period of time. AAS programs may also prepare students for transfer to four-year institutions. These programs offer education in recognized technical areas and specialties with emphasis on analysis, synthesis and evaluation. The program content, which is approximately 30% general education and 70% professional/technical, provides depth and breadth in conceptual and professional/technical skills. The general education courses equip students with the problem solving, communications, scientific and mathematical skills to compete successfully in the job market. Professional/technical courses equip students with the skills to obtain employment and to advance in the workforce.
