Our comprehensive NCV & EMG Training Course is designed for physician assistants who want to add electrodiagnostic testing capabilities to expand their diagnostic services and career opportunities.
A comprehensive curriculum covering everything physician assistants need to safely and effectively perform electrodiagnostic testing.
Master peripheral nervous system anatomy, nerve conduction physiology, and compound motor action potentials. Understand sensory and motor nerve pathways essential for accurate testing.
Learn sensory nerve testing (sural, median, ulnar), motor nerve testing (median, ulnar, peroneal, tibial), and late responses including F-wave, H-wave, and A-wave studies.
Master needle insertion techniques, motor unit potential analysis, fibrillation potentials, and sharp wave identification for comprehensive EMG testing.
Develop skills to accurately interpret NCV/EMG findings, correlate with clinical presentation, and communicate results effectively.
Hands-on training with professional NCV/EMG equipment. Learn proper setup, electrode placement, and troubleshooting techniques.
Learn CPT codes, ICD-10 coding, documentation requirements, and strategies to maximize reimbursement for electrodiagnostic services.
Understanding your capabilities and practice requirements as a PA performing electrodiagnostic testing.
Physician assistants practice medicine under the supervision of licensed physicians, with scope defined by state law and collaborative practice agreements. NCV/EMG testing is within PA scope when authorized by your supervising physician and included in your practice agreement. Many states have moved toward Optimal Team Practice, allowing more flexible supervision arrangements that don't require on-site physician presence.
NCV/EMG certification makes you more valuable to employers and opens doors to specialized positions in neurology, pain management, and PM&R practices.
Work alongside your supervising physician to provide comprehensive diagnostic services. NCV/EMG skills extend your team's capabilities and improve patient access to testing.
NCV/EMG-certified PAs often command higher salaries. The specialized skill adds significant value to employers and enhances your career opportunities.
NCV/EMG training benefits PAs in neurology, pain management, physical medicine and rehabilitation, orthopedics, and primary care. The diagnostic capability enhances patient care and helps identify conditions requiring intervention or specialist referral.
Receive your AAOPM Certificate of Completion. This certification demonstrates competency in electrodiagnostic testing to employers and supervising physicians, supporting your professional development and credentialing.
