All technologists granted the CNCT credential are automatically enrolled in the Technologist Maintenance of Certification Program (TMOCP). As part of the program, technologists must obtain 30 CEUs over a 5-year period. The credits submitted must be related to the performance of NCSs and not other neurodiagnostic techniques unrelated to NCSs, such as electroencephalogram (EEG), intraoperative neuromonitoring (IOM), or polysomnograms (PSG). The CEUs can be broken out as follows:
• 10 of the 30 CEUs may be from within your own institution
o No program preapproval is needed if the institutional course is led by an ABEM Diplomate;
otherwise, preapproval by ABEM is required.
• 20 of the 30 CEUs must be from external sources
o The ABEM accepts AANEM, AAET, ASET, AAN, AAPMR, ACNS, and state END society credits
without preapproval. These can be online or in person sessions.
• 5 of the 30 CEUs may be credits for being a speaker at an AANEM, ASET, or AAET session on
NCSs. Other sessions require preapproval. Speaker credits are given as 1 credit for each
hour-long session.
In addition to the CEU requirements, all technologists granted the CNCT credential are required to attend at least 1 AANEM Annual Meeting during the 5-year certification cycle. CEU documentation needs to be sent to the ABEM offices by the end of the 5-year certification cycle.
