Electroencephalographic Technologist Jobs in Park Ridge, IL

An Electroencephalographic Technologist, often referred to as an EEG Technologist, plays a crucial role in the med tech industry by administering and interpreting electroencephalograms (EEGs) to assist physicians in diagnosing neurological disorders. They prepare patients for the procedure, apply electrodes to the patient's scalp, monitor their status during testing, and document clinical observations. The data collected provides valuable information about the electrical activity of the brain which can be used to diagnose conditions like epilepsy, strokes, or brain tumors. They may also assist in sleep studies or intraoperative monitoring during surgeries.

Essential skills for an EEG Technologist include attention to detail, strong technical aptitude, and excellent interpersonal skills for patient interaction. A strong understanding of human anatomy, particularly neurology, is also important. They should have a professional certification such as the Registered EEG Technologist (R. EEG T.) credential from the American Board of Registration of Electroencephalographic and Evoked Potential Technologists (ABRET). Prior to becoming an EEG Technologist, individuals might have roles such as a Certified Medical Assistant, Neurodiagnostic Technician, or a Clinical Laboratory Technician, accumulating necessary clinical experience.
