We are looking for a dedicated and skilled Neurophysiology Technologist to join our healthcare team. The Neurophysiology Technologist is responsible for conducting diagnostic tests that measure the electrical activity of the brain, nerves, and muscles. These tests are crucial in diagnosing and monitoring neurological disorders such as epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, neuropathies, and other conditions affecting the nervous system. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in neurophysiology, excellent technical skills, and the ability to work closely with neurologists, neurosurgeons, and other healthcare professionals.
In this role, you will perform various neurodiagnostic procedures, including electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), nerve conduction studies (NCS), evoked potentials (EP), and intraoperative monitoring (IOM). You will be responsible for preparing patients for procedures, explaining the testing process, and ensuring patient comfort and safety throughout the examination. Additionally, you will be expected to accurately record and analyze test results, maintain detailed patient records, and communicate findings clearly to physicians and other medical staff.
The Neurophysiology Technologist must possess excellent interpersonal and communication skills, as you will interact directly with patients who may be anxious or uncomfortable. Compassion, patience, and the ability to reassure patients during procedures are essential qualities for success in this role. You will also be responsible for maintaining and calibrating neurodiagnostic equipment, ensuring that all devices function correctly and safely.
Attention to detail and strong analytical skills are critical, as you will interpret complex data and identify abnormalities or significant findings that require immediate attention. You must be able to work independently, manage your workload efficiently, and prioritize tasks effectively in a fast-paced clinical environment. Additionally, you will participate in ongoing education and training to stay current with advancements in neurophysiology technology and diagnostic techniques.
Our organization values teamwork, professionalism, and continuous improvement. We offer a supportive work environment where your contributions will be recognized and appreciated. As a Neurophysiology Technologist, you will play a vital role in patient care, helping to diagnose and manage neurological conditions that significantly impact patients' quality of life. If you are passionate about neurophysiology and committed to providing exceptional patient care, we encourage you to apply for this rewarding position.
