Neurodiagnostic Technologist, A.S.H.S.

Overview

The Neurodiagnostic Technologist program is responsible for providing students with advanced training in the field of electro neurodiagnostics. Graduates will function as entry-level technologists in military treatment facilities throughout the United States and overseas. This program has a two-phase, field of study schedule. Resident training is first conducted at the METC Branch Campus and then the student transitions to clinical training that is conducted at military and/or civilian medical treatment facilities.

Accreditation or Related Information: The Neurodiagnostic Technologist program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (WWW.CAAHEP.ORG) upon the recommendation of the Committee on Accreditation for Education in Neurodiagnostic Technology (CoA-NDT).

Credentialing Information: Graduates are eligible for multiple credentials upon completion of the program through the American Board of Registration of Electroencephalographic and Evoked Potential Technologists (ABRET) or the Board of Registered Polysomnographic Technologists (BRPT).

Per the American Board of Registration of Electroencephalographic and Evoked Potential Technologists (www.abret.org), applicants must meet the following requirements:

To be eligible for the Electroencephalography (EEG) credential, applicants must be enrolled for at least 6 months in a CAAHEP accredited program and have a current CPR/BCLS certification. During clinical training, students are eligible to take the EEG Part 1 credential examination. Graduates who have passed EEG Part 1, are then eligible to take the EEG Part 2 certification examination.

Graduates are eligible for the Evoked Potential (EP) credential examination upon completion of a CAAHEP accredited program.

Per the Board of Registered Polysomnographic Technologists (www.brpt.org), applicants must meet the following requirements:

  1. Graduates are eligible for the Registered Polysomnographic Technologist (RPSGT) examination, upon completion of a CAAHEP accredited polysomnography education program.
  2. To be eligible for the Certified Polysomnographic Technologist (CPSGT) examination, applicants can be students within 2 months of graduating from, or a graduate of, a CAAHEP accredited polysomnography education program

This program holds specialized national accreditation that is maintained through the Medical Education Training Campus (METC).
