Electroneurodiagnostic
Technology Program

The Electroneurodiagnositic Technology Program (END) at Institute of Health Sciences offers training in electroneurodiagnostic technology. Professionals in this health science field study and record the electrical activity of the central, peripheral and autonomic nervous systems using sophisticated electronic testing equipment.

Online / Distance Education

Exceptional students, an outstanding faculty and curriculums combine to make the Institute of Health Sciences, a nationally recognized comprehensive school that promotes innovative educational opportunities for the adult student interested in a career in allied health.

Electroneurodiagnostic Technology (END) is the allied health profession that records, monitors, and analyzes nervous system function. END technologists work in collaboration with physicians, researchers and other healthcare professionals and assist in providing vital information in the evaluation and diagnosis of brain disorders such as epilepsy, stroke, coma, degenerative disorders and neurological trauma.

END technologists possess the knowledge, skills and competency to obtain interpretable recordings of patients’ nervous system function. The END technologist can be involved in one or more diagnostic procedures including: Electroencephalography (EEG), Evoked Potentials (EP), Polysomnography (PSG), Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS) and Intra-operative Monitoring (IOM).

Program

The END program is designed to provide students with theory and clinical experience in a variety of END testing procedures. Students will obtain the necessary instruction to become a competent END technologist.

Instruction is provided through web-based software along with one on one clinical instruction with a registered technologist. The program length is one year and includes instruction in EEG, EP, PSG and NCV technologies. Courses are offered over 4 semesters beginning in the fall of each year. The program is a combination of web-based instruction and clinical experience. Students must be highly motivated and willing to work at a fast pace. Clinical experience will be done at a pre-approved clinical site where students will obtain "hands on" experience for a minimum of 16 hours/week.

Articulation Information

The curriculum for the Health Sciences' Electroneurodiagnostic Technology Program allows transfer of credits for the Associate Degree and BS degrees at regionally accredited institutions. The program expects the student to be computer literate since the didactic program is given on-line through Web Study. The majority of the first nine months of the program you will be taking classes at IHS Online and assigned clinical rotations and mentor at a medical center.

Please check with your individual program director on the status for board eligibility, degree, or the availability of transfer of college credits within your specific program.
