About The Position

Join Cleveland Clinic Neurological Institute and become part of one of the world’s most respected healthcare organizations. We are expanding with a new, one-million-square-foot, 15-floor, state-of-the-art facility on Cleveland Clinic Main Campus designed to elevate care for complex neurological conditions — including spine injuries, epileptic seizures, movement disorders, multiple sclerosis and stroke. This advanced building brings every stage of care under one roof, featuring dedicated spaces for outpatient services, surgery, stepdown, ICU and epilepsy monitoring, as well as additional operating rooms and expanded ambulatory, infusion, imaging, EMG, sleep and rehabilitation services. We are welcoming new caregivers to collaborate within our multidisciplinary teams and contribute to nationally recognized, innovative neurological care. Join us and be part of the next wave of transformative care at Cleveland Clinic. EMG Technologists are responsible for performing nerve conduction studies to evaluate the function of patients’ nerves and muscles. Duties include placing surface electrodes to deliver mild electrical impulses and measuring the resulting nerve and muscle responses. The role may also involve inserting fine needles to record and monitor communication between nerves and muscles, providing critical diagnostic information to support patient care. You will work closely with Neuro-Muscular Neurologists, Spine Physicians, and occasionally Registered Nurses (RNs) to support patient care. You will have the opportunity to collaborate regularly with fellow EMG Technicians to ensure accurate testing, support an efficient workflow, and contribute to the delivery of high-quality patient care. While prior healthcare experience isn’t required, a strong understanding of anatomy, the ability to multi-task, and a passion for helping patients are essential. A caregiver in this position works full-time| 7:00am—4:00pm, 7:30am—4:30pm, 8:00am—5:00pm| occasional Saturdays shifts from 7:45am—12:00pm.
