The academic content and curriculum of the Electroneurophysiology Associate Degree Program is designed to provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills in the application, evaluation and reporting of neurological tests. The program usually covers two years of study, during which students are exposed to basic and applied sciences as well as technical and practical skills.
Basic Medical Sciences and General Courses: Students take basic medical science courses such as Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry to understand the basic functioning of the human body. Also included in the curriculum are courses such as Introduction to Health Sciences, which provides an overview of the healthcare sector.
Neurological Sciences and Related Courses: This section focuses on topics such as diseases of the nervous system and the functioning of the brain and nervous system. Courses such as Neurology, Neuropsychology and Nervous System Diseases are included in this category.
Electroneurophysiologic Tests and Applications: The most important part of the program, this section focuses on how to perform EEG (Electroencephalography), EMG (Electromyography) and other neurophysiological tests, how to evaluate and report test results. These courses provide students with theoretical knowledge as well as practical skills in the use of equipment and test applications.
Clinical Practices and Internships: In this department, which enables students to put their theoretical education into practice, applications and internships in the real hospital environment have an important place. During this period, students gain experience by working on real cases under the supervision of professional health personnel.
Research and Statistics: Scientific research methods and statistical analysis skills provide students with basic knowledge in collecting and analyzing data and interpreting results. These courses provide the necessary tools for situations that students may encounter in their research projects and professional lives.
The curriculum of the program aims to provide students with a broad perspective while at the same time gaining professional competence and expertise. In addition to lectures, laboratory work, hands-on training and internships allow students to acquire the practical skills necessary to succeed in the field. In this way, graduates make a quick transition to the industry and increase the chances of success in their careers.
