The Vanderbilt University Medical Center Neurodiagnostic Program has been accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP).
CAAHEP is the largest programmatic accreditor in the health sciences field. In collaboration with its Committees on Accreditation, CAAHEP reviews and accredits more than 2,000 educational programs in 23 health science occupations.
The application deadline for the next Neurodiagnostic Program class, beginning in the fall, is May 31. A maximum of eight students are selected for the 18-month program.
Since it began in 2011, two classes have graduated from the program and a third is in progress.
Neurodiagnostics is the allied health care profession that records, monitors and analyzes nervous system function to promote the effective treatment of pathologic conditions. Technologists record electrical activity arising from the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, somatosensory or motor nerve systems using a variety of techniques and instruments.
The most common neurodiagnostic procedures are the Electroencephalogram (EEG), Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM), Long Term Monitoring (LTM), Polysomnogram (PSG), Evoked Potentials (EP), and Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS).
