Course Information
Course Code
IONM140
Instruction Method

Fee
$1500 domestic / $2250 international
Length
12 weeks
Instructor(s)
Francois D. Roy, PhD CNIM
Learner Outcomes
After completing IONM 140 learners are expected to:
- recognize the common IONM modalities used to monitor sensory and motor function in the operating room
- be able to describe the practical aspects and requirements needed to stimulate, record and interpret intraoperative neurophysiological signals
- be able to explain the benefits that each IONM modality can provide to a wide range of neurosurgical and spinal procedures
Course Objectives
IONM 140 will focus on the IONM modalities that provide real-time, intraoperative information on sensory and motor function. Basic principles of the modalities will be discussed, along with their relevant application during surgery. Practical information will be provided on how each modality is performed and close attention will also be given to the detection, interpretation, and troubleshooting of intraoperative signal changes. This course will culminate with a general overview of all the IONM modalities and the practice of multimodality monitoring.
The course is divided into 12 learning modules (sections) some of which are further subdivided into learning units.
Evaluation Method
Online quiz after each module, final multiple choice online exam
Intended For
Health professionals who are or will be working in an intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring role.
