Electroneurodiagnosic Technology

Program description: Electroneurodiagnostics is the study and recording of electrical activity in the brain and nervous system.

Entry time: Fall (every odd-numbered year)

Duties: An electroneurodiagnostc (END) technologist uses an electroencephalograph (EEG) instrument to record electrical impulses transmitted by the brain and nervous system. These recordings assist physicians in the diagnosis of a variety of neurological problems—from headaches and dizziness to seizure disorders, strokes, degenerative brain disease and sleep disorders.

Students have clinical experiences at area hospitals and the Department of Neurology at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. The program begins every odd-numbered year.

Accreditation: This program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP).

Graduates are prepared for the Registry Exam of American Board of Registration of Electroencephalographic and Evoked Potential Technologists.
