Admissions Process

All candidates who meet minimum requirements are encouraged to apply to the program. Because the selection process is competitive, not all applicants who meet minimum admission requirements will be selected into the program. All qualified candidates are evaluated for consideration based on merit utilizing the program’s established screening process.

Applications are initially reviewed for verification of minimum requirements. Applicants who meet minimum requirements are scored using an established and approved scoring method. Of the applicants who meet minimum requirements and attend a mandatory pre-admission conference, some applicants will be invited to attend a personal interview.  Interview candidates will be notified by email of their interview date, time and location once the application window has closed.  Following each candidate's interview, the interview team will score each interview using a standardized scoring rubric.  Click here to view the comprehensive interview score rubric.  (Note: the program does not share completed rubrics with applicants following their interview.)  Final selection of applicants into the program will be based on this score. An alternate list is formed with candidates rank-ordered based on their overall interview score. 

Foreign Educated Applicants

Applicants educated in foreign countries are welcomed to apply to the program. However, to be considered as part of the application, any post-secondary education the candidate has completed must be through regionally or Accrediting Bureau for Health Education Schools (ABHES) accredited American colleges and universities. No foreign academic work will be considered toward the education requirements. Foreign transcripts or the equivalent domestic evaluation of foreign transcripts (ECE, for example) should NOT be submitted.

Disability

The Ascension St. Vincent Neurodiagnostic Technology Program does not discriminate on the basis of disability as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and does not request disability information from program applicants. Likewise, candidates are advised to not discuss or disclose a disability to program faculty, students or other Ascension St. Vincent associates or representatives. If accepted into the NDT Program, candidates will have the opportunity to request accommodations for disabilities as defined by the American with Disabilities Act. The program, in consultation and guidance from the Ascension St. Vincent Offices of Associate Health, will determine if disability accommodations are reasonable. The program reserves the right to deny disability accommodations that are not deemed to be reasonable.
