Electroneurodiagnostic technologists must
have a high school diploma and some courses in computer technology before

obtained through vocational schools, community colleges, and in some cases

supervised experience. Before beginning practice electroneurodiagnostic
technologists must pass written and oral examinations.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
I would not like to be an electroneurodiagnostic
technologist because they have to deal with instruments that sound complicated. It
does not go into the type of medical field I would like to be.
