    This course is the fourth clinical experience in the Neurodiagnostic Technology Program and takes place at an affiliated healthcare facility. The emphasis for this course is on evoked potential (EP), advanced skills in electroencephalographic (EEG) recording and analysis, and more specialized diagnostic testing procedures (as available). The specialized areas may include intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring (IONM), neonatal testing, long-term epilepsy monitoring, pediatric tests, transcranial doppler (TCD) studies, nerve conduction (NCV) studies and others. The clinical experience provides students a supervised application of previously learned techniques and skills at an advanced level and progressing toward entry level. The focus is on safe, legal and professional behavior. This course also fosters the development of communication skills and interpersonal relationships required for the healthcare field. Supervision of the students is provided by a neurodiagnostic technologist and/or physician of the affiliating institution and is coordinated by the college faculty.
