Electroneurodiagnostic Technology - Transition, AAS Semester-By-Semester Plan

(2021*03)

The Electroneurodiagnostic Technology curriculum is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills to obtain recordings of patients’ nervous system function through the use of electroencephalographic equipment and other electrophysiological devices.

Course work includes communication skills with patients and healthcare personnel, taking appropriate patient histories, electrode application, documentation of patients’ clinical status, electrical waveform recognition, management of medical emergencies, and preparation of descriptive reports for the physician.

The R. EEG T to AAS in END Transition program is designed for current unrestricted Registered Electroneurodiagnostic Technologists (R.EEG T) to complete the Associate in Applied Science Electroneurodiagnostics Degree. Applicants must meet the minimum admissions requirements, which includes submitting a current R. EEG T certificate/license/credential.

Students are required to complete at minimum 25 percent of the program requirements at LCC as mandated by SACSCOC, and each student will receive an individualized education plan to ensure this requirement is met. Applicants have the opportunity to complete selected EDT courses via credit by exam (see college catalog), and EDT faculty will administer the exams related to this process. In the event a student is unsuccessful in the credit by exam process, the student may choose to complete the program by enrolling in the next available cohort on campus. Additionally, applicants may submit previous college work to be evaluated for possible transfer credits. Upon completion graduates are eligible to apply for advanced 2+2 baccalaureate programs. Applicants can apply at any time throughout the year to the END Department.

Additional Information:

All Health Sciences and Nursing students must have grades of “A,” “B,” “C,” or “SA” on all applicable course work to progress each semester and graduate from the program.

*R EEG T Transition students are given credit for these EDT courses. A copy of their current unrestricted license/credential to practice must be on file in Registrar’s Office. All other EDT courses may be taken as credit by exam. Credit by exam will follow the college’s process for each applicable course.

Please note that this is a possible semester-by-semester course of study. Any transition courses such as math and English that are necessary for student placement could extend the time needed for completion. In such cases, graduation may be extended by one or more semester(s). Other delays might be experienced in regards to the timelines of various course offerings.
