An opportunity to add skills to prepare for the new ABRET Advanced Neurodiagnostic Credential

Did you know that ABRET is working on a new micro-credential for advanced data analysis?  This exam will be offered only to those who hold a CLTM credential and will be a “Reader Analyst” qualification.  The first exam will take place some time in 2019, and will include assessment of advanced pattern recognition skills, appropriate for technologists who review and edit continuous EEG files.

ASET is bringing our Fall Seminar Courses to Aurora, Colorado on Oct. 13 & 14^th, and in addition to the EEG Boot Camp course we will offer an “Advanced EEG and LTM” course.  I have designed this course to include a day full of advanced EEG pattern recognition and related skills such as technical report writing. 

The Sunday Advanced EEG & LTM program will focus on advanced skills for LTM and continuous EEG in the ICU.    This course day will be helpful for technologists who have an interest in building advanced pattern recognition skills and  obtaining the upcoming the new ABRET microcredential “ Reader Analyst”.  The advanced course is also appropriate for those who are seeking interesting educational opportunities while obtaining CEUs for recertification of the R.EEG T, and CLTM credentials.  The faculty for the day are all from the Cleveland Clinic Comprehensive Epilepsy Center, and the University Hospital of Cleveland, and they will use a workshop format to allow for maximum interaction with course participants, with case studies incorporated into the sessions.  The faculty on Sunday will be: Sherry Nehamkin, R. EEG/EP T, CNIM, CLTM, FASET, Ellen Peters, R. EEG T, CLTM and Naiara Garcia Losarcos, M.D.
