About the Program

The Electroneurophysiology Program aims to train qualified health technicians who can apply neurophysiological methods used in the evaluation of diseases associated with the central nervous system. Within the program, students are expected to gain fundamental professional knowledge and practical skills for EEG, EMG, sleep studies, and evoked potential procedures.

Duties and Areas of Responsibility

Electroneurophysiology technicians contribute to the safe and accurate execution of neurophysiological examinations. In this scope, their main areas of duty are as follows:

• Preparing the devices, electrodes, and materials required for EEG, EMG, sleep studies, and evoked potential procedures.
• Preparing the procedure area and checking that the relevant devices are in working order.
• Keeping electrodes, EMG needles, nasal cannulas, thermistors, belts, finger probes, and other required equipment ready before the procedure.
• Supporting the completion of informed consent forms and informing the patient about the procedure.
• Assisting the specialist physician during the EMG procedure.
• Placing electrodes appropriately, ensuring device calibration, and performing recordings according to the appropriate protocol.
• Ensuring the cleaning, maintenance, and order of the devices and materials used.
• Keeping records of the procedures performed and supporting reporting and presentation processes.

General Approach of the Program

The Electroneurophysiology Program aims to train health technicians who know the devices, materials, and recording methods used in neurophysiological diagnostic processes; value patient communication; work under specialist physician supervision; and have developed technical competence, recording discipline, and professional responsibility.
