NMT is the leading provider of contract intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) in the Maryland/DC surrounding area, and is currently GROWING with newly added hospital contracts! NMT currently employs 35 surgical neurophysiologists and five board-certified neurologists that, collectively, cover over 8,000 IONM procedures annually. If you are seeking a long-term career in healthcare where advanced degrees are not a requirement, NMT may be a perfect fit for you. With our current opening, you could start your career in the medical field immediately following graduation!
About the career: Surgical neurophysiologists work directly in the operating room providing neuro integrity testing on patients, under general anesthesia, during selected high risk surgeries. They provide instant feedback to the surgeon and surgical team about the patient’s current neurophysiologic status in hopes to detect and prevent life altering injuries such as: paralysis, nerve damage, stroke, deafness, misplacement of surgical hardware, and sensation loss. This service is completed by sticking small subdermal electrodes on/in the patient and then stimulating and/or recording from various muscle groups, nerves, or brain locations. All testing is run directly from the neurophysiologist’s company issued laptop and equipment in the operating room while the surgery is being performed. Surgical neurophysiologists are critical members of the surgical team and make a difference in their patient’s lives each day. Types of surgeries covered are, but not limited to: neurosurgery (brain/spine), orthopedic spine, ear nose throat (ENT), and vascular surgeries. As a contract company, we provide IONM service at over 50 surgical locations in the area. This position allows you to be in different locations, but not have to travel extensive lengths or ever step foot on an airplane for work travel. All of NMT’s contracts are within driving distance of/in the Maryland and DC region. Work weeks are Monday-Friday with weekend call shifts divided evenly amongst all staff. On average, a staff member would cover seven weekend call shifts per calendar year, with advance notice of which weekends they are designated to. Additional rate of pay is also given for those worked weekend days.
