Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) is a healthcare field that utilizes many measures to monitor and assess the ongoing functional integrity of a patient's central or peripheral nervous system in a hospital operating room or other acute care setting. Used to detect injuries to the nervous system during surgeries, IONM has reduced the risk of debilitating neurological deficits after operations, such as muscle weakness, paralysis, hearing loss, and other loss of normal neurological body functions.
The University of Connecticut’s Intraoperative Neuromonitoring Graduate Certificate prepares students for a healthcare career in this rapidly growing field. Designed by faculty from UConn's Department of Physiology and Neurobiology in collaboration with Safe Passage Neuromonitoring*, this six-week, 9-credit summer certificate program provides the skills and knowledge needed for students to be trained in the field of Intraoperative Neuromonitoring and prepares them to be hired as a paid neuromonitoring technologist intern and subsequently participate in surgical cases that employ neuromonitoring.
For application assistance and other information contact Program Coordinator, Dr. Radmila Filipovic (radmila.filipovic@uconn.edu). Tuition reimbursement options and career possibilities are available through collaboration with Safe Passage Neuromonitoring. Graduates will be eligible for paid internship in the field of neuromonitoring
* UConn is pleased to acknowledge the collaboration of Safe Passage Neuromonitoring and the expert advice of Dr. Payam Andalib, M.D., Ph.D., CNIM, Senior Surgical Neurophysiologist.
