Certified Neurodiagnostic Tech (IONM)
500P Hospital

WHY Join Allied Health with Stanford Healthcare Our Neurodiagnostic Technologists serve in areas including EEG EMU EMG EP IONM Autonomics TCD and much more.

Changing the Future of the Neurodiagnostic Lab Department: The Neurodiagnostic Lab Department at SHC is renowned for its premier program in intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring (IONM) which was one of the first to obtain formal accreditation nationwide. The comprehensive clinical service is very active led by a dedicated team of neurologists and technologists that assist in a wide diversity of surgeries for both pediatric and adult populations.
Our specialtytrained technologists and boardcertified neurologists perform Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) using a variety of neurophysiologic techniques including EEG (electroencephalogram) SSEPs (somatosensory evoked potentials) EMG (electromyography) and transcranial motor evoked potentials (tcMEPs)testing.
Be Part of a Tight Knit Team: Our IONM team is tight knit collaborative and supportive. Technologists that are specially trained in IONM work with fellowshiptrained neurologists onsite to provide clinical services for a diversity of surgical cases.
The IONM department allows staff the ability to learn a wide variety of procedures and techniques to monitor including:
EEG (electroencephalogram)
SSEP (somatosensory evoked potentials)
tcMEP (transcranial motor evoked potentials)
BAEP (brainstem auditory evoked potentials)
EMG (electromyography)
NAP (nerve action potential)
Direct cortical stimulation
Direct subcortical stimulation
Awake testing
Opportunities to Grow: Allied Health professionals in our Neurodiagnostic Lab Department have access to:
Physician Case reviews
Journal Club
Weekly Neuroscience conferences

This is a Stanford Health Care job.
