| EEG students and instructor |
The Electroneurodiagnostic (END) Technology Program at Children's Hospital Boston trains technologists in EEG, evoked potentials, epilepsy monitoring, sleep technology and related fields.
Our program is one year long, with the option of three extra months for Sleep and/or Long Term Monitoring (LTM) training. Our goal is to instruct our trainees in the art and science of clinical neurophysiologic technology.
Program background
Our program has grown out of a long tradition of training in clinical EEG technology which began at Children's in 1951. In that year, William Lennox, MD, established an educational program to train physicians, fellows and technologists in the area of EEG. Our program was initially funded under a federal government research grant.
During the initial years of our grant (and through the early 1970s), technologists were paid a monthly stipend during their six-month training session.
After the death of Dr. Lennox, Cesare T. Lombroso, MD, continued to
administer our grant through 1975, when the funding ended. In the latter part of the 1970s, a more formal training program was instituted as the demand for well trained EEG Technologists in the market grew.
Since 1951, our program has trained more than 300 technologists in the EEG field and its trained graduates are working in more than 30 states.
