The majority of the didactic (educational) work for the CNT Program will be completed within the first 12 months of the program. You’ll take part of this course work at the Neurophysiology laboratory at Bangladesh Protibondhi Foundation (BPF), Mirpur, Comfort and Central Hospital laboratories and Biomedical Physics and Technology dept. of Dhaka University. Clinical rotations are scheduled in each of the laboratories.
EEG, NCV and EMG training at the BPF laboratory and Comfort laboratory this would include tutorial and hands on training.
The Clinical Neurophysiologists will do the practical exercise at the laboratories during this period.
Clinical training for the CFT
During the 12 months of the program, you will gain hands-on clinical experience in Clinical Neurophysiology and attend the Epilepsy clinics at Dr. MR Khan Shishu Hospital and ICH (optional) OR you may attached with any of the BCNEPS teachers OR you be attached with the Neurologist at your institute. Your training hours will be recorded and signed by your tutor on the logbook.
