Technical and Board Certification

Our Reading Physicians are held to the highest of standards by our Chief Medical Officer who is a Board Certified Neurologist and a Cardiologist.  All of our Reading Physicians are either Board Certified or Board Eligible in Neurology (or other relevant clinical areas) and Clinical Neurophysiology.

All Sentient IOM technologists hold at least a Bachelor’s degree in a health science related field; a two-year degree in Applied Science or a certificate from an accredited technology school is the minimum requirements for all Sentient Neurovascular technologists.  

Both IOM and Neurovascular technologists undergo extensive (6 week academic and didactic) training at the Sentient Educational Institute in Fairfax, VA. All courses are approved by the American Society of Electrodiagnostic Technologists (ASET).  To ensure clinical competency, a detailed checklist has been developed by our staff in conjunction with ASET and is maintained on every technologist.  Sentient also requires all technologists to be JCAHO compliant and to pass the following tests in support of our customer’s high standards:

  • Annual CPR and TB test
  • Age specific competency tests
  • Additional mandatory programs such as safety andinfection control
