Program Overview

Program Overview

Neurodiagnostic technicians (NDTs) use a variety of equipment to take measurements and recordings of patients’ brain and nervous system function. These recordings offer physicians the information they need to assess and diagnose patients with epilepsy, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and many other conditions.

As an NDT, you will take patient medical histories and help prepare patients for their imaging procedures. You’ll conduct a variety of tests, including electroencephalograms (EEGs), nerve conduction studies, sleep studies and more. Once completed, you’ll evaluate the results to ensure you were able to capture the information needed and report to the physician or other health care professional on duty.

Preparation for Certification Exams

After graduation from the NDT degree program, you’ll be eligible to take professional certification examinations† offered by the following organizations:

  • American Board of Registered Electroneurodiagnostic Technologists, Inc. (ABRET)
  • American Association of Electrodiagnostic Technologists (AAET)
  • Board of Registered Polysomnography Technologists (BRPT)

Earning certification can enhance your professional profile in the job market. Please note that additional experience or training may be required after graduation to complete certification.
