Overview

The program provides a combination of lab and lecture instruction at BCIT and clinical experience in the diagnostic neurophysiology departments of major hospitals. Note: Half of all clinical practicums will occur outside of the Lower Mainland.

The program draws from a variety of subject areas:
- Basic physics principles and their application to Electroneurophysiology Technology are explained.
- Engineering provides the context for discussing electronics, electrical signals, and electrical safety.
- Basic health sciences inform about human physiology and the biological signals to be measured.
- Social sciences prepare you for interpersonal relationships within the clinical environment.
- Extensive clinical experience helps you develop necessary practical skills in the work environment.

In both spring and fall terms, special courses in electroneurophysiology, neuroanatomy, and neuropathology train students in the basics of biological signal measurement and clinical apparatus. The program covers different areas of clinical experience: electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), evoked potentials, and polysomnography.

Upon completion of the two-year program, graduates receive a Diploma in Electroneurophysiology. After a period of work experience in a clinical situation, graduates are eligible to write the Technologist Registration examinations of the appropriate certifying body in their chosen fields of interest.
