Also called: EEG Technologist, Electroneurodiagnostic Technologist
Records brain waves with EEG to help diagnose seizures and sleep problems.
Glues 20+ small electrodes onto a patient's scalp, records brain waves for an hour (or several days), and marks unusual patterns for the neurologist.
Estimate.
Approximate: anchored on Bureau of Labor Statistics data for a broader job group.
Associate's degree (2-year), about 2 years after high school. Associate or certificate program; R. EEG T. credential.
Ways in: 2-year college, Certification, On-the-job training. Training cost: Under $15k.
Majors to look at: Neurodiagnostic Technology (associate).
Growing faster than average (about 5% over 10 years). Estimate.
Medium risk for 10 years. AI now flags seizure patterns in EEGs; gluing electrodes, watching patients and long recordings keep techs needed.
Classes: Anatomy and physiology, Biology, Health science CTE.
Official data: O*NET occupation 29-2098.
