Electroneurodiagnostic Technologists

Prospective EEG technologists will find it difficult to gain any direct experience on a part-time basis in electroencephalography. Your first direct experience with the work will generally come during on-the-job training sessions or in the practical-experience (internship, co-op, practicum) portion of your formal training. You may, however, be able to gain some general exposure to patient-care activities by signing up for volunteer work at a local hospital. In addition, you can arrange to visit a hospital, clinic, or doctor's office where electroencephalograms are administered. In this way, you may be able to watch technologists at work or talk to them about what the work is like.
