FAQ

NCV/EMG Training FAQ for Nurse Practitioners

Common questions about NCV/EMG training for nurse practitioners.

Yes. Nurse practitioners can perform NCV/EMG testing in most states, though scope of practice varies. In full practice authority states (26+), NPs can independently perform and interpret electrodiagnostic studies. In reduced or restricted practice states, a collaborative agreement with a physician may be required. Always verify your state board of nursing regulations regarding electrodiagnostic procedures.
Our NCV & EMG Training Course is completed in 2 days. You'll receive your AAOPM Certificate of Completion immediately after successfully finishing the hands-on training and didactic components. Most NPs begin performing NCV/EMG studies shortly after completing the course.
This depends on your state. In full practice authority states, NPs can perform NCV/EMG testing independently. In reduced practice states, you may need a collaborative agreement. In restricted practice states, physician supervision is required. Check your state board of nursing regulations to understand your specific requirements.
NCV/EMG-certified NPs often earn higher salaries due to their specialized diagnostic skills. If you're in independent practice (in FPA states), electrodiagnostic testing generates $300-800+ per study. Even as an employee, NCV/EMG certification makes you more valuable and can command higher compensation.
You'll need an NCV/EMG machine, surface electrodes, needle electrodes, and related supplies. During the course, we provide guidance on equipment selection and vendor relationships. If you're employed, your facility will typically provide the equipment.
AAOPM provides ongoing support including access to our community with 100,000+ members, clinical resources, equipment vendor contacts, and faculty consultations. We also offer preceptorship training and advanced courses as you expand your diagnostic capabilities.
