Because of this need, an academy was created to help guide healthcare professionals like yourself to provide the best quality of healthcare to your patients. Guided by the principles of ethical treatment of all patients subjected to clinical
electrophysiologic tests, Kellogg and Nelson formulated a course of study that
emphasized the human dimension. The program content emphasized and presented
in- depth: musculoskeletal anatomy, neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuropathology, biomedical instrumentation, neuronal conduction techniques (motor and sensory studies), late responses, needle EMG techniques, interpretation, administration, and other related areas in the comprehensive course. Additionally, the measurement of proficiency was attained by both written and practical examinations given on a monthly basis. The didactic knowledge was examined by the use of written examinations and hands-on practical examinations. The founders of this program wanted to also surround themselves with other clinical experts who regularly practiced this specialty, hence the broad array of clinical faculty. The use of an evidence-based approach to patient care ensures that the practitioner who takes this workshop is performing as a true reflective practitioner. Drs Kellogg and Nelson are proud of the success of this certificate program.
