Electroneurodiagnostic Technologists

Many EEG technologists work more than 40 hours a week. Some hospitals require them to be on call for emergencies during weekends, evenings, and holidays, and LTM labs frequently need technologists nights and weekends. Technologists doing sleep studies may work most of their hours at night.

EEG technologists often work with people who are ill and may be frightened or emotionally disturbed. As a result, work can be unpredictable and challenging.

Most EEG technologists are employed by hospitals, where the work can vary greatly. In emergency situations, the work is often stressful and hectic as they work closely with other staff members. At other times, conditions are calmer. The EEG technologist often works independently with a patient, spending much time in a darkened room during the tests.
