Set up, calibrate, and operate IONM equipment for modalities such as SSEP, MEP, EMG, and EEG during spinal, neurosurgical, vascular, cardiac, thoracic, orthopedic, ENT, and related procedures.
Perform continuous intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring from induction of anesthesia until case completion, documenting baseline and ongoing changes in signals.
Communicate real‑time neurophysiologic changes to the remote Neurophysiologist and surgical/anesthesia team, following established escalation and reporting protocols.
Prepare, place, and remove electrodes, probes, and other common supplies (needle electrodes, gel electrodes, cortical screw electrodes, ground pads, probes/tubes) in accordance with sterile technique and device safety requirements.
Document all IONM data, events, and communications in the VA Electronic Health Record (EHR) in accordance with VHA Handbook 1907.01 and local documentation policies.

Support billing documentation by maintaining accurate case records that align with contract line items and hours billed.
Physical Examination Responsibilities
Perform and document pre‑procedure IONM‑related assessments (e.g., electrode site assessment, skin integrity, positioning considerations) as directed by the supervising Neurophysiologist and surgical team.
Continuously monitor the functional integrity of neural structures via neurophysiologic modalities, recognizing patterns indicative of potential injury and initiating escalation.
Assist OR staff in safe positioning and protection of extremities and pressure points as it relates to optimal neuromonitoring signal acquisition.
Medical Oversight Responsibilities
Operate under the technical and clinical oversight of a remote Board‑Certified Neurophysiologist and the VA Chief of Neurosurgery or delegate, following their intraoperative directives.
Immediately communicate significant changes in monitored signals, technical limitations, and artifact concerns to the supervising physician and surgical team.
Support the supervising physician in post‑case documentation and case quality review as requested.
