The Neurodiagnostic Clinical Rotation at Mayo Clinic's campus in Jacksonville, Florida, is designed to provide students with theory and clinical experience in a variety of EEG, EP, and PSG testing procedures. Students will obtain the necessary instruction to become a competent Electroneurodiagnostic (END) technologist.

Instruction is provided through web-based software, along with one-on-one clinical instruction overseen by a registered technologist, though students may train with an unregistered technologist.
