New Informational Videos about Neurodiagnostic Technology on the ASET Website


It’s the day after Christmas and here in Maine we had a very white Christmas, as we were graced by two winter storms, one two days before Christmas and one on Christmas Day, which lasted all day!  This winter wonderland photo is the view from my porch after these storms.




The ASET Elves have been hard at work in their video studio workshop to create two new videos to help promote neurodiagnostic technology as a career.   It has been a long term strategic goal of ASET to build a qualified workforce and promote the development of sufficient formal education in Neurodiagnostics to add more skilled graduates to relieve the chronic nation-wide short staffing our neurodiagnostic departments.  I am really proud of the work that our committees and staff have done on these videos, and very impressed with the results.

The first video is one that could be played on a video monitor in a neurophysiology department waiting room or at a Neurodiagnostic Week promotional display.  This one explains the work that techs do and the kinds of tests we typically perform.  The target audience is the general public and anyone who may referred for neurodiagnostic testing.

The second video, recently completed and made available on our website, is more of a career information video, describing the work we do and the benefits of a career in Neurodiagnostics.  This one would be ideal to use when presenting information at a school to promote interest in our profession.  We will be adding this video to our ambassador program tool kit.

Our third new video is a short animated feature about the importance of licensure for Neurodiagnostic Technologists and to promote credentialing and regulation of practice in our industry to ensure that patients always receive the highest quality care and the best outcome of their diagnostic work-up or monitoring session.

I encourage all ASET members to show these videos to your patients, staff and at regional meetings to engage others to use these videos to educate the general public about our skills, our career and our future.
