Are you graduating this May and looking for a quick path to employment in a rapidly growing healthcare field? How about Intraoperative Neuromonitoring?
The Physiology and Neurobiology Department, in collaboration with Safe Passage Neuromonitoring, is offering a Graduate Certificate Program in Intraoperative Neuromonitoring at the UCONN Storrs Campus this summer (7/11/16- 8/19/16).
To apply for this program you should have a Bachelor’s degree in a biological discipline. Please find additional information and updates about the program at: http://ionm.uconn.edu.
Basic information about the program:
This is a 6 week, 9- credit summer graduate program at the Storrs campus. The program consists of three courses: Anatomy and Physiology for Neuromonitoring, Fundamentals in Intraoperative Neuromonitoring and Applied Intraoperative Neuromonitoring. Courses are in sequence and given over six weeks. The first course is lecture + lab; the second is lecture, and the third is only lab. There is a substantial portion of online material, but we also meet in person for several hours per day 4-5 days a week. The schedule is available on the PNB website (pnb.uconn.edu), as well as information about accommodations.
If you are selected by the company that we have a collaboration with, you have a good chance of reimbursement of tuition for the program, and full paid employment that starts with a paid internship that includes 150 hours in intraoperating room. If you need more information about this, please contact Payam Andalib at: payam51@hotmail.com
About the field and program: Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) is a rapidly growing field of healthcare that employs a series of neurodiagnostic tests to evaluate patients’ neural functional integrity during a variety of brain, spine and vascular surgeries. Upon successful completion of the didactic training through the certificate program at UConn, candidates will be qualified for full time employment in neuromonitoring companies. After active participation in 150 surgical cases, the candidates will be eligible to take part in a national exam called CNIM (Certification in Neurophysiologic Intraoperative Monitoring) offered by the American Board of Registration of Electroencephalographic and Evoked Potential Technologists (ABRET).
