Midwestern Career College is currently accepting applications for the Electroneurodiagnostic (END) Technology program.
Spring 2026 enrollment is open.Call (312) 236-9000 ext. 1 to book your enrollment appointment.
Midwestern Career College’s Electroneurodiagnostic (END) Technologist hybrid program immerses students in the study of electrical brain activity and gives them the practical skills needed to set up, record, and interpret EEG tests in healthcare settings. After three semesters, including a full semester of clinical rotation, graduates are well-prepared to begin a fulfilling career as EEG Techs.
Curious about becoming an EEG Tech?
Individuals interested in becoming an EEG tech often have a strong interest in neuroscience, medical technology, and patient care. They may also be fascinated by brain function and the electrical activity within it. Interest in the diagnostic process, the impact of neurological disorders, and the role of technology in healthcare are often part of what draws students to this field.
Some of our students also come from personal or family connections to epilepsy, which drives their desire to make a meaningful difference in patients’ lives and actively contribute to improved care and outcomes.

What Do EEG Techs Do?
Electroneurodiagnostic technologists record electrical activity of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. They prepare patients for procedures, obtain medical histories, and work with specially trained physicians who interpret testing data and provide clinical impressions. END professionals may specialize in one or more neurodiagnostic procedures, creating opportunities to work in areas such as neurology and surgery.
