Minimum Educational Requirements for Performing
Electroneurodiagnostic Procedures
Individuals performing routine Electroneurodiagnostic procedures must have more than one year of END education and a minimum of one year of clinical experience to render testing without the direct supervision of a senior END technologist or physician. Competent
technical recording of END tests requires the technologist to exercise a significant degree of independent judgment. END recordings are customized to meet the needs of the patient, the referring physician and the physician who will interpret the test.

Both END education and clinical experience are necessary to attain sufficient knowledge base and clinical expertise.
