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 15 hours/week.
