The NCV/EMG Training workshop provides a detailed review of nerve conduction velocity and electromyography techniques used to evaluate peripheral nerve and muscle disorders. Participants will revisit the biophysical principles of signal generation, electrode placement, and waveform interpretation, with emphasis on distinguishing normal variants from pathologic findings. The curriculum integrates current guidelines and evidence‑based practice to ensure accurate diagnostic conclusions.
During the day, attendees gather at the host venue in Long Island in Long Island for a blend of didactic sessions and supervised hands‑on practice. The schedule includes case‑based discussions, live demonstration of needle EMG insertion, and real‑time data acquisition on volunteer subjects. In the hands‑on segment, each participant performs a series of standard nerve studies and muscle recordings under faculty observation, receiving immediate feedback on technique and interpretation. The June 5, 2027 agenda allows time for question‑driven review of complex studies.
This workshop is appropriate for physicians, physiatrists, neurologists, and advanced practice providers who regularly order or perform electrodiagnostic studies. It also benefits residents, fellows, and allied health professionals seeking to deepen their technical skills and diagnostic confidence. Participants should hold a license that permits performance of NCV/EMG procedures and confirm that the content aligns with their scope of practice before attending.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which professional licences are appropriate for attending this workshop?
The workshop is intended for clinicians who hold a valid licence to perform electrodiagnostic studies, such as physicians, physiatrists, neurologists, and qualified advanced practice providers. Participants should verify with their own licensing board that their credentials allow them to engage in NCV/EMG procedures and to attend this type of training.
What does the hands‑on portion of the day involve?
The hands‑on portion includes supervised performance of standard nerve conduction studies and needle electromyography on volunteer subjects. Participants will practice electrode placement, stimulus delivery, and signal acquisition while receiving real‑time feedback from faculty. The goal is to reinforce proper technique and improve confidence in interpreting study results.
What prior knowledge or experience is required?
Attendees should have a basic understanding of peripheral nerve anatomy and prior exposure to electrodiagnostic concepts. Clinical experience in ordering or interpreting NCV/EMG studies is helpful but not mandatory, as the workshop reviews foundational principles before advancing to complex cases.
Will any equipment be provided during the workshop?
All necessary electrodiagnostic equipment, including stimulators, recording electrodes, and EMG needles, will be supplied by the training facility. Participants are encouraged to bring their own reference materials, but no personal devices are required for the hands‑on activities.
How is the workshop structured on the day of the event?
The day begins with an overview of neurophysiologic principles, followed by case‑based lectures that illustrate common clinical scenarios. After a short break, the program transitions to live demonstrations and the hands‑on segment. The final portion includes group discussion of recorded data, interpretation challenges, and best‑practice recommendations.
