This program prepares the students as an entry level neurodiagnostic technologist. In the classroom setting the students will explore anatomy, physiology, and the pathophysiology of neuroscience, legal and ethical concepts of healthcare, safe and effective care environment, and professional standards of practice in preparation for their clinical experience and career.

Throughout the program in a patient-centered care setting the students collaborate as a member of the health care team, integrate latest research into practice, apply a variety of methods to communicate effectively, utilize critical thinking skills to ensure safe environment for patients, evaluate neurodiagnostic tests, and practice within the ethical and legal realm of the neurodiagnostic profession. 

This is a selective admissions program with limited enrollment. Prospective students are encouraged to visit the program website or contact JCCC program personnel for additional information and application materials at (913)469-2583 or rc-ndt@jccc.edu. 

Students must “pass” all clinical courses and maintain a grade of “C” or higher in all non-clinical courses to remain in the program.

Program Outcomes

Johnson County Community College (JCCC) is committed to offering high-quality affordable programs that focus on developing knowledge and skills conducive to life-long learning. Both the General Education Student Learning Outcomes and Institutional Learning Outcomes convey JCCC's approach to programmatic outcomes. Additionally, students who successfully complete the Neurodiagnostic Technology, AAS from JCCC will be able to:

  • Perform all diagnostic procedures required of a Neurodiagnostic Technician in various practice settings (i.e., inpatient care, outpatient care, and sleep disorder centers).
  • Apply a working knowledge of Neurodiagnostic equipment related to electroencephalograph (EEG) and polysomnography (PSG) studies, analyze functional neuroanatomy (including select muscles and nerves), classify seizures, and recognize the impact of medications, signs, and symptoms of neurological disorders in adult and pediatric patient populations.
  • Communicate effectively with diverse patient populations. 
  • Demonstrate the ability to collect, comprehend, apply, evaluate, and communicate information in the clinical setting.
  • Demonstrate advanced expertise in EEG and PSG studies (including MSLT and MWT) by identifying study indications, applying scoring guidelines, analyzing technical criteria for optimal study interpretation, and differentiating between artifacts and cerebral waveforms.
  • Perform Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) titration, including oxygen titration, to meet clinical standards.
  • Discuss foundational knowledge in introductory Neurodiagnostic modalities, including Evoked Potentials (EPs), Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS), Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM), and Long-Term Monitoring (LTM).
