EEG Board Prep Workshop Larry Head, R. EEG/EP T., CNIM, RPSGT; Cherié Young, R. EEG T., CNIM

Whether you are preparing for Part I or Part II of the current ABRET exam,

or planning to take the new exam in 2013, this workshop will be helpful to you. Larry and Cherié will help you pull together study resources and gain insight into what you will need to know to succeed.

MEG WorkshopSusan Ebersole, R. EEG T.; John Ebersole, M.D.

There are now at least 40 medical centers in the U.S.A. that offer Magnetoencephalography and the value of this imaging study is growing. Localizing cognitive brain function and epileptogenic foci are important tools MEG offers as part of the pre-surgical epilepsy work-up. It is a fascinating and rewarding job for technologists who wish to expand their skills. This workshop will provide an overview of the theory behind the MEG, how a study is acquired, and what it shows.

Minimally Invasive IONM Workshop Faculty TBA

Medtronics is sponsoring this workshop which will demonstrate the anatomy involved with monitoring extreme lateral/minimally invasive procedures. You will experience the viewpoint of the surgeon with a virtual O.R. set-up.

TCD Workshop Thomas McGee, CNIM

Transcranial Doppler may be used in IONM and in the ICU setting, and technologists are often asked to learn how to run TCD studies. This will be a hands-on workshop with TCD equipment, preceded by a lecture on the anatomy of the circulatory system and techniques involved in this study.

The ASET Sundown Seminars are designed to promote customized learning in an informal setting with opportunity to ask questions. There is a separate registration fee for these workshops. We encourage you to register in advance but we will accept registrations on-site.
