Neurophysiology Technologist: As a neurophysiology technologist, you'll perform tests and monitor patients to measure electrical activity in the nervous system. These tests include electroencephalograms (EEGs), nerve conduction studies, and evoked potentials.
Intraoperative Neuromonitoring Technologist: Works in surgical settings to monitor a patient's nervous system during surgery, ensuring that no damage occurs to critical neural structures.
Polysomnographic Technologist: Specializes in sleep medicine by conducting polysomnography tests to diagnose sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and insomnia.
Research Assistant: Join research teams in universities, hospitals, or research institutions, contributing to studies on neurological disorders, brain function, and treatments.
Clinical Educator: Become an instructor in neurophysiology technology programs at universities, colleges, or specialized training institutions, educating the next generation of neurophysiology technologists.
Hospitals and Medical Centers: Hospitals hire neurophysiology technologists to perform EEGs, nerve conduction studies, and other neurodiagnostic tests. Intraoperative neuromonitoring technologists may work in surgical departments.
Neurology Clinics: Neurology clinics and private practices employ neurophysiology technologists to assist neurologists in diagnosing and managing neurological conditions.
Sleep Disorder Centers: Polysomnographic technologists find employment in sleep disorder centers, conducting sleep studies and providing valuable data for the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders.
Research Institutions: Universities and research organizations hire research assistants to support studies related to neuroscience, neurophysiology, and neurological disorders.
Medical Equipment Companies: Companies that manufacture medical equipment hire technologists for roles in product development, technical support, and sales.
Telemedicine and Remote Monitoring: With the growth of telemedicine, opportunities exist for neurophysiology technologists to provide remote monitoring services for patients with neurological conditions.
