Learn the theory and practice of nerve conduction studies, needle electromyography (EMG) and evoked potentials. Upon completion of this program doctors will have the skills to perform and interpret the findings of these scientifically validated diagnostic procedures. Aditionally, report writing, reimbursement coding and third-party reimbursement procedures will be discussed. These procedures will greatly enhance your ability to manage your patients with spine and radicular pain syndromes, as well as peripheral neuropathies, such as carpal tunnel syndrome. These procedures are within the scope of practice for Doctoral level health care providers. In addition, these procedures are reimbursable by most insurance companies.
The electrodiagnostics certificate program is a “hybrid” live webinar and live on site “hands on” course. The lecture (didactic) modules are offered via live webinar format. This means that participants can log on and participate in the course from the comfort of their home or office, without the time and expense of travel! A simple desktop or laptop computer with speakers and an internet connection is required. Four of the ten modules require local attendance as they are “hands on” laboratory modules. For those weekends, the participant will have an EMG instrument at their disposal so they may perfect their nerve conduction study and EMG skills.
