Neurodiagnostic Technology
Neurodiagnostic Technology (NDT) is a specialized healthcare field focused on studying the electrical activity of the brain and nervous system. Skilled neurodiagnostic technologists use cutting-edge equipment to help diagnose conditions like epilepsy, brain injuries, sleep disorders, and other neurological problems. As healthcare systems expand access to neurological care, the demand for trained NDT professionals is growing nationwide.
The Neurodiagnostic Technology program prepares students to enter this exciting and essential career field with the technical expertise and clinical experience needed to succeed.
What You’ll Learn
In this program, students will gain knowledge and hands-on training in neurodiagnostic procedures used in hospitals, outpatient clinics, sleep centers, and research facilities. The curriculum combines classroom instruction, lab-based simulations, and clinical experiences to develop the skills needed to:
- Perform electroencephalograms (EEGs) and related diagnostic tests
- Recognize and record brain and nervous system activity
- Operate advanced neurodiagnostic equipment
- Follow safety, procedural, and ethical guidelines in patient care
- Interpret data and collaborate with neurologists and healthcare teams
- Apply anatomy, physiology, and neuroanatomy to patient cases
Students will complete clinical rotations in real-world healthcare settings, working alongside experienced professionals to apply what they’ve learned in the classroom.
