Accepted Answer

Employment Characteristics
 
Neurodiagnostic personnel work primarily in neurology-related departments of hospitals, but many also work in clinics and the private offices of neurologists and neurosurgeons. Growth in employment within the profession is expected to be greater than average, owing to the increased use of EEG and EP techniques in surgery; in diagnosing and monitoring patients with epilepsy; and in diagnosing sleep disorders. Technologists generally work a 40-hour week, but may work 12-hour days for sleep studies and be on-call for emergencies and intraoperative monitoring. There are optional nationally recognized exams which are NOT currently mandated by law or necessary for employment. However, persons who successfully take and pass these exams greatly increase their employment and earnings potential in the occupation.
