Monitoring the Nervous System for Anesthesiologists and Other Health Care Professionals. The chapter on “IOM Instrumentation Layout and Electrical Interference” is co-authored by Andrew Goldstein, CNIM, Manager of IONM Biomedical Services for SpecialtyCare. Another chapter, “Interventional Neuroradiology,” is co-authored by Anthony K. Sestokas, PhD, DABNM, FASNM, Chief Clinical Officer, Intraoperative Neuromonitoring. We are thrilled to have this resource in our training library and reference the material frequently throughout the syllabus.
The evolution from a wide-eyed trainee to a professional surgical neurophysiologist capable of supporting surgeons in the most complex procedures is a metamorphosis that is truly awesome and, with every graduating class, I’m reminded of the tremendous group effort behind the scenes. Our clinical instructors, medical office staff, senior surgical neurophysiologists, remote monitoring professionals, and operations leaders provide support and guidance every step of the way. This spirit of teamwork not only makes the training program successful, it also makes the goals of clinical excellence, continuous improvement, and patient-centered care achievable. I am thrilled to be part of such a group and I cannot wait to see our newest team members grow into the next SpecialtyCare IONM mentors and leaders.
