The EEG Technician will perform EEG tests when requested by a physician. As part of the testing process, an EEG tech will gather a patient's medical history, explain testing procedures, and prepare the patient for the procedure. During testing, the EEG technician monitors the patient's status and notes any abnormalities. After testing they report findings to the provider for further analysis. Instill the IMS mission, vision and values in the work performed.
