AUB 7103 Intraoperative Neurophysiologic Monitoring 1.5 Credit
Intraoperative Neurophysiologic Monitoring (IOM) plays a critical role in enhancing surgical outcomes by providing real-time data on neural function. This course introduces students to the operating room environment and the principles of continuous electrophysiological data acquisition and interpretation. Designed for those with a background in neurodiagnostics, the course includes a focused review of auditory evoked potentials (AEP) and electromyography (EMG), with special emphasis on EMG applications in facial nerve monitoring. Through case examples, surgical protocols, and video illustrations, students will gain foundational knowledge essential for beginning supervised, hands-on IOM training.
