Course Description

Comprehensive review of Neurodiagnostic Technology concepts in preparation for the ABRET National Registry Board Exam (R.EEG T.) PREREQUISITE: NDT A115. Transfer Credit: CSU.

Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)

1. Demonstrate knowledge and application of EEG concepts in the Neurodiagnostic field of practice.

Course Objectives

• Demonstrate application of EEG concepts by successfully completing a simulated registry examination of at least 200 questions.
• Demonstrate comprehension of EEG activities through evaluation/interpretation of EEG tracings and report findings in the neonate, pediatric and adult patients.
• Discriminate common EEG artifacts and implement troubleshooting techniques to eliminate or monitor event.
• Adhere to appropriate standards for the Neurodiagnostic field related to ethics and practice.
