Surgical Neurophysiology (MS)

The Master of Science in Surgical Neurophysiology is a one-year professional master’s program designed to provide students with the knowledge and clinical training required to become a board-certified Surgical Neurophysiologist. Courses in neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neural signal acquisition, and the application of neurophysiological measurements in the surgical environment are covered in a year-long program of study, beginning in the summer. A total of 32 credits are required. In addition, students complete a clinical practicum. After completion of the program and participation in 100 surgical cases (during or after their clinical practicum), students will be eligible to participate in the national exam for Certification in Neurophysiologic Intraoperative Monitoring (CNIM Certification) conducted by the American Board of Registration of Electroencephalographic and Evoked Potential Technologists (ABRET).
