However, it is not the \u201cend\u201d for students seeking this degree, but just the beginning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans';\">\u201cThe purpose of the Electroneurodiagnostic program is to prepare individuals to go to work in the neurology field alongside neurologists, neurosurgeons, and other healthcare professionals,\u201d Program Chair Beth Payne said. \u201cNeurodiagnostic technicians will be trained to look for neurological deficits, such as seizures, encephalopathies, trauma, etc. They will learn to record and read electrical neural outputs of the brain, nerve pathways, and muscles, and assist physicians in diagnosing, treating, and educating patients accurately. Graduates will work alongside physicians to manage patient\u2019s progress and care.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans';\">Payne is also the program chair of the Polysomnography (Sleep Medicine) program where individuals, working in conjunction with a physician, are prepared to perform and interpret sleep studies and to provide comprehensive clinical evaluations that are required for the diagnosis of sleep studies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans';\">\u201cThe main difference between END and Polysomnography is that while Polysomnography deals with sleep disorders, END looks for neurologic disorders. With both programs, electrical output from the body is looked at to discover disorders or deficits.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans';\"> In the first couple of semesters, students can expect to learn the fundamentals of healthcare, such as infection control, vitals, taking medical histories, and three intensive anatomy and physiology courses. As students\u2019 progress in the program, they will learn to use diagnostic equipment, read neural outputs of the brain, nerve pathways, and muscles, and prepare data and reports for physicians.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans';\">The END program will utilize the newest diagnostic equipment available. \u201cThis will be an advantage for students. The equipment students\u2019 use while practicing in the lab will be identical to what they see in their clinical rotations, and at their jobs after graduation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans';\">Students must complete more than 300 hours of clinical work to graduate. Clinical sites are spread throughout the area to serve students better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans';\">\u201cThe job outlook for neurodiagnostic technicians is good in our area,\u201d she said. \u201cNot only is there a need in Lenoir County, but the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area has the second greatest need for neurodiagnostic technicians in the country.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans';\">The END program at LCC is one of two in the state. \u201cA strength of the program is having the polysomnography sister program. This means LCC is already equipped with the tools needed to teach this type of health science program effectively,\u201d Payne said. \u201cStrong bonds with clinical sites have already been made, which allows the College to provide its students with the best clinical experiences possible.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans';\">For more information, visit\u00a0<span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans Bold';\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lenoircc.edu\/acaddiv\/acada45320\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LCC END<\/a><span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans';\">.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Allie Bluhm Coming Fall 2020 will be Lenoir Community College\u2019s newest Health Sciences program \u2013 Electroneurodiagnostic Technology or END, as it is known in the field.
