A competent Neurodiagnostic technologist has knowledge of the nervous system and knows how to properly operate many types of sophis- ticated instruments. Neurodiagnostic technologists are employed in hospitals, clinics, physicians’ offices, university medical centers and research centers. Orange Coast College’s Neurodiagnostic Technologist program provides the- ory and clinical experience in Electroencephalography (EEG) and in Evoked Potential (BAEP, PVEP, SSEP) testing as well as an introduction to other neurological testing procedures. Some of the testing procedures include Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS), Long-term Monitoring (LTM) for Epilepsy, Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring (IONM), Transcranial Doppler (TCD) Studies, and more. The Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) has accredited this NDT Program. The program meets the eligi- bility requirements to take the EEG and EP exams of the American Board of Registration in Electroencephalographic and Evoked Potential Technologists (ABRET). The student must complete Associate in Science degree General Education requirements and the program prerequisites prior to accep- tance into the program.
