What is the program about?
The associate degree program in Neurodiagnostic Technology prepares competent entry-level Neurodiagnostic Technologists, specializing in Electroencephalograms (EEG) with additional expertise in the following areas: Evoked Potentials (EP); Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM); Nerve Conduction Students (NCS) and Polysomnography (PSG), in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavior) learning domains. The Neurodiagnostic Technology (NDT) program prepares students to become skilled professionals in recording and analyzing the electrical activity of the brain. EEG technologists play a critical role in diagnosing and monitoring conditions such as epilepsy, brain injuries, sleep disorders, and other neurological conditions. Through hands-on training and comprehensive coursework, students learn to operate state-of-the-art EEG equipment, recognize normal and abnormal brain wave patterns, and apply specialized recording techniques in clinical settings, including hospitals, intensive care units, and operating rooms. This program emphasizes the technical and analytical skills needed to prepare accurate data for interpretation by neurologists and other medical professionals. Graduates are well-equipped for a fulfilling career in this high-demand healthcare field. As part of the program, the students will complete a non-paid, supervised health-related practicum in a medical setting. A grade of "C" or higher is required in all program courses to remain in the program. Note: For students under age 18 there may be restrictions on participating in certain Health Sciences programs. Any student under age 18 must contact the program director/department chair to discuss whether he or she may enroll. This degree program contains one or more embedded certificates which will be automatically awarded when the certificate requirements are completed. If you do not want to receive the embedded certificate(s), please notify Registration and Student Records at studentrecords@sinclair.edu.
