FAQ

NCV/EMG Training FAQ for Physician Assistants

Common questions about NCV/EMG training for physician assistants.

Yes. Physician assistants can perform NCV/EMG testing when authorized by their supervising physician and included in their practice agreement. The specific supervision requirements vary by state, but many states allow flexible arrangements that don't require on-site physician presence during testing.
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. You can begin performing NCV/EMG studies once your supervising physician authorizes the procedures.
Yes. PAs practice collaboratively with physicians and require physician supervision, though requirements vary by state. Your supervising physician must authorize NCV/EMG testing within your practice agreement. Many states support Optimal Team Practice, allowing supervision through chart review, periodic meetings, and availability for consultation rather than requiring on-site presence.
NCV/EMG-certified PAs often earn higher salaries due to their specialized diagnostic skills. Adding electrodiagnostic capabilities makes you more valuable to employers, especially in neurology, pain management, and orthopedic practices. The specialized skill can significantly enhance your earning potential and career advancement opportunities.
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. In most cases, your employer or supervising physician's practice will provide the necessary equipment.
