About The Position

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 is dedicated to providing a comprehensive battery of inpatient neurological testing procedures at Stanford Health Care. Our specialty-trained technologists and board-certified neurologists perform electroneurodiagnostic testing in the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU), intensive care units (ICU), operating rooms, and other specialized locations in the hospital. Be Part of a Tight Knit Team: Our EMU unit is tight knit, collaborative and supportive. Stanford is a level IV (highest level) epilepsy center, offering new methods of treating and diagnosing epilepsy. The mission is to deliver the best available care and beyond, while pushing the forefronts of epilepsy care beyond the ordinary. The EMU department allows staff the ability to learn a wide variety of procedures and techniques including: • LTM • cEEG recording • Phase II and sEEG. Our group of Epileptologists, Fellows and Residents help to make technologists feel supported in and outside of their role. Opportunities to Grow: Allied Health professionals in our Neurodiagnostic Lab Department have access to: • Physician Case reviews • Weekly Neuroscience conferences.
