Electroneurodiagnostic Technologists

Opportunities for advancement are good for registered EEG technologists. Those without registration will find opportunities for advancement severely limited.

Usually, registered electroneurodiagnostic technologists are assigned to conduct more difficult or specialized electroencephalograms. They also supervise other electroencephalographic technologists, arrange work schedules, and teach techniques to new trainees. They may also establish procedures, manage a laboratory, keep records, schedule appointments, and order supplies.

EEG technologists may advance to the position of chief electroencephalographic technologist and thus take on even more responsibilities in laboratory management and in teaching new personnel and students. Chief electroencephalographic technologists generally work under the direction of an electroencephalographer, neurologist, or neurosurgeon.
