Title: Electroneurodiagnostic Technician/EEG Tech

Location: San Francisco, CA

Duration: 13 weeks assignment

Job Description:

• EEG technicians are trained to operate machines known as electroencephalographs, which are used to measure and record the electrical activity of brain waves via electrodes secured to the patient's scalp.
  
• The technicians use these devices to administer tests called electroencephalograms (EEGs), which may then detect brain disorders or damage.
  
• EEG technicians can use these tests to monitor patients during sleep cycles.
  
• EEG technicians also perform pre-test consultations and record the patient's medical history.
  Since the EEG can be stressful for some patients, EEG technicians can also explain the test procedure to patients in order to help assuage some of their fears.
