NEURODIAGNOSTIC TECHNOLOGIST
Neurodiagnostic technologists (EDT), EEG technologists and electroneurodiagnostic technologists are highly skilled professionals trained to perform electroencephalograms (EEGs) in medical facilities and outpatient centers under the direct supervision of a health care provider. The Neurodiagnostic Technology Program at Kellogg Community College is an Associate in Applied Science degree program. The EPiC Consortium Neurodiagnostic Technology (EEG) program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (www.caahep.org) upon the recommendation of the Committee on Accreditation for Education in Neurodiagnostic Technology. As a member of the EPiC Consortium, Kellogg Community College’s Neurodiagnostic Technology (EEG) program is CAAHEP accredited.
KCC’s Neurodiagnostic Technologist Program is offered through a partnership with other Michigan community colleges in the Educational Programs in Collaboration (EPiC) Consortium. Each college enrolls students in the program under their admission criteria and each awards the degree according to that college’s completion requirements.
Students in the program complete EEG courses delivered in an online environment by one of the EPiC colleges through Michigan Colleges Online. Clinical education courses are arranged through the EPiC Consortium’s program director in collaboration with the EEG departments of affiliating hospitals, clinics or other EEG provider facilities. Upon completion of the EEG program graduates will be eligible to take the American Board of Registration in Electroencephalographic (ABRET) exam. Upon passing the ABRET exam, neurodiagnostic technologists have earned their R.EEG.T.
