Program Authorization

Ascension St Vincent Neurodiagnostic Technology Program does not currently hold programmatic accreditation and might have implications on the experience required for graduates to be eligible to sit for the EEG Registry exam.  To sit for the certification examination administered by ABRET, graduates who have completed an accredited program qualify under Pathway 1; graduates of a non-accredited program qualify under Pathway 2.
