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.

You’ll have the opportunity to learn skills to conduct a variety of tests, including electroencephalograms (EEGs), nerve conduction studies, sleep studies and more.
