Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions (RMUoHP) is excited to announce that the 2021 Electroneuromyography (ENMG) Program is now enrolling students for its September 20 start date.
The ENMG program is designed to meet the scholarly and clinical needs of the beginner electroneuromyographer, by introducing students to the assessment and implementation of sound scientific principles in the electrophysiologic evaluation of patients who have neuromuscular disabilities.
“This is a comprehensive program that incorporates not only the mechanics of performing the exam, but also includes the anatomy, physiology, and pathology required for real-time clinical decision making and proper assessment of the data obtained,” said Bill Eisner, PT, DSc, ECS, program director the of ENMG program at RMUoHP.
The ENMG program offered by RMUoHP has a reputation for excellence, in part because of the experienced faculty teaching the program and the history of the program being offered at RMUoHP. “RMUoHP has been training healthcare professionals for over thirty years to be proficient and successful in this field by providing high quality, hands-on training by experienced board certified electroneuromyographer,” said Eisner.
The course is open to healthcare professionals from a variety of different careers and background, including chiropractic physicians, nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists, physicians, and physician assistants. Those looking to become an electroneuromyographer must have professional licensure as well as have professional liability insurance.
RMUoHP offers the ENMG program through a blended medium of in-person and online instruction. Enrolled students must complete 44 hours of online instruction prior to the eight-day (60 hours) onsite session in Provo, Utah, that takes place during the month of October.
Eisner explains the importance of healthcare professionals trained in electroneuromyography. “There are currently not enough providers offering this service, regardless of their discipline (PT, MD, PA, etc.). Delays in testing can lead to delay of care and prolonged pain and dysfunction. For certain pathologies, the course of treatment may be dictated by the results of the ENMG exam, and a delay in obtaining these results may lead to less than optimal patient outcomes.”
RMUoHP is working to meet the need for trained electroneuromyographers by offering this program to current healthcare professionals.
