Description: In the Introduction to Intraoperative Neurophysiologic Monitoring program, students will obtain a comprehensive foundation of surgical neurophysiology as a medical specialty and graduate with the skill set and knowledge required to be successfully employed in this growing field. Through their studies, the importance of the role of the surgical neurophysiologist will be introduced to provide context to the material and introduce how it will be applied in a clinical setting. Each segment of the program builds on a core foundation of knowledge that students will apply in the operating room during live surgical procedures. The program is divided into three (3) courses: Introduction to Intraoperative Neurophysiologic Monitoring: This course, which covers the foundation knowledge important for success in the program, is completed by students online. Advanced Intraoperative Neurophysiologic Monitoring: This course builds on the foundation knowledge developed in the introduction course, with additional theory combined with hands-on training. Practicum: Finally, students will participate in an externship under the supervision of a licensed professional, and apply their skills and knowledge in the operating room. Upon successful completion of all three program components, students will receive a certificate of completion.
