Shortage of R.EEG Technologists
"Throughout the country there is a shortage of trained, experienced Neurodiagnostic technologists. This has led to hospitals cross training other allied health professionals to perform Neurodiagnostic exams. Few opportunities exist for trainees to attend courses in the fundamentals of EEG technology. Without these fundamental skills, technologists will have difficulty maximizing the utility of their EEG equipment. "
