This course provides ongoing clinical instruction and an evaluation method for students to demonstrate clinical competency for EEG procedures, as well as, apply skills learned in NDT 201, Evoked Potentials and Polysomnography to the clinical environment.
Students will be introduced to the basic concepts involved in Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS.) Topics will include pertinent anatomy and physiology, instruction in the recording and stimulation parameters associated with obtaining routine nerve conduction studies, troubleshooting techniques, and discussion of neuromuscular disease processes.
Additionally, students will learn in great detail about seizure classification and epileptic syndromes. This course will also focus on EEG interpretation as associated with seizure disorders, epileptiform abnormalities, and artifact recognition. This will be in conjunction with an introduction to the advanced EEG practice of Long Term Monitoring (LTM.)
Prerequisites: NDT 200, NDT 201
