Education & Training for ION Providers

Virtual Courses 

Overview

Join our in-depth 2-day live virtual courses conducted via Zoom, designed to provide comprehensive training on featured ION procedures and processes. These courses are ideal for those seeking to master    

neurophysiologic mapping and monitoring  independently, within their specific roles in the ION team.

The first day's sessions will thoroughly cover all building blocks for the course ION  topic: key concepts,  planning, designing, setting  up, executing the procedure, and reliably interpreting its results. The knowledge gained on Day 1 will serve as a foundation for the clinical applications and processes explored on Day 2.

The second day's sessions will adopt a more practical approach, i.e. applying the material learned on

Day 1, to ensure the efficient delivery of reliable data and its integration within a multidisciplinary environment. Ample time will be allocated for questions and discussions related to specific case scenarios, building on the concepts introduced earlier.
