Kathleen Mears Memorial Lecture: The View from Here - A Perspective on Neurodiagnostic Technology

For over 14 years in my role as ASET's Director of Education, I have had the unique opportunity and privilege of communicating with many people every day, from across the country, to across the globe. The diverse range of people who called me with questions included Neurodiagnostic technologists, physicians, and those seeking advice to enter the field. This article includes a reflection on the many questions asked, and most pressing concerns shared with me. Based on the "top ten" questions asked by callers, I determined the key trends and concerns related to the practice of Neurodiagnostic Technology. Key workforce issues and supporting data are included. I also provide suggestions for resources that can be used to address those questions. When contemplating the overall message that became apparent when I reviewed the many years of conversations I had, I find that there are many uplifting and inspirational thoughts to be shared.
