IONM Technologist
About the Opportunity
Join a team that sits at the intersection of neuroscience, technology, and life-saving surgery. As an IONM Technologist, you’ll play a critical role in protecting patients’ nervous systems during some of the most complex surgical procedures performed today. This is a highly collaborative position where your expertise directly supports surgeons, neurologists, and care teams in real time inside the operating room.
This role is ideal for experienced neurodiagnostic professionals who thrive in high-acuity environments, enjoy solving complex problems, and want to contribute meaningfully to patient outcomes while working alongside world-class clinical teams.
What You’ll Do
As an IONM Technologist, you will perform advanced intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring during complex surgical procedures. Your work will help surgeons make informed decisions that protect critical neurological structures and improve patient safety.
Responsibilities include:
- Performing advanced multimodality intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring during surgical procedures including spinal, cranial, vascular, and mapping cases
- Monitoring and interpreting neurophysiological signals in real time using modalities such as SSEP, MEP, EMG, EEG, and cortical mapping
- Identifying significant waveform changes and communicating critical findings to the surgical team and supervising physician
- Collaborating with surgeons and physicians to plan monitoring strategies prior to procedures
- Maintaining detailed and accurate documentation of monitoring events and clinical interventions
- Mentoring and training junior technologists, fellows, or new team members
- Participating in quality initiatives and collaborative clinical research efforts
- Supporting surgical schedules that may require extended hours or participation in on-call rotations
This position offers the opportunity to work on challenging and rewarding cases where your technical expertise and clinical insight directly impact patient outcomes.
What We’re Looking For
We are seeking experienced neurodiagnostic professionals who bring both technical expertise and strong clinical judgment to the operating room.
Education and Experience
One of the following combinations of education and experience is required:
- Completion of a formal Neurodiagnostic Technology education program with a minimum of seven years of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring experience
- Graduation from a CAAHEP-accredited Neurodiagnostic Technology program with at least seven years of IONM experience
- Associate’s degree in Neurodiagnostics with five years of IONM experience
- Bachelor’s degree in Neurodiagnostics with five years of IONM experience
- Master’s degree in Neuroscience or a related field with three years of IONM experience
- Bachelor’s degree in a non-neurodiagnostic field with eight years of IONM experience
- Ten years of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring experience if no bachelor’s degree is held
Credentials
- CNIM certification required (or equivalent credential such as NIOM)
- Basic Life Support (BLS) certification required upon hire and must remain active
- Additional neurodiagnostic credentials such as REEGT, CLTM, or REPT are strongly preferred
What Sets You Apart
- Deep understanding of neurophysiology and surgical monitoring techniques
- Ability to interpret complex neurophysiological data in high-pressure environments
- Strong communication skills when collaborating with surgeons and physicians in the operating room
- Commitment to mentoring, education, and advancing the field of neurodiagnostics
If you are passionate about neuroscience, thrive in fast-paced surgical environments, and want your work to make a direct impact on patient safety, this is an opportunity to grow your career while working on some of the most advanced neurosurgical procedures performed today.
