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.
