The Code of Ethics of the American Association
of Electrodiagnostic Technologists
Electrodiagnostic technologists will conduct themselves
beyond reproach and in such a manner as to merit the respect of the Association
and the public.
Electrodiagnostic technologists should be accurate in
all that they do. Their primary concern should be the patient's care and
comfort. They should be willing to assist their respective supervisors
in any way that is deemed appropriate in their organizations.
Electrodiagnostic technologists should treat the patient
with all due respect and courtesy regardless of the origin or nature of
the presenting disorder, the patient's sex, race or creed.
The patient has a right to privacy and should be treated
accordingly. The technologist should yield to a patient's refusal to undergo
the studies when reasonable persuasion has failed.
Electrodiagnostic technologists should always maintain
confidentiality of information. All data taken should be protected from
unauthorized inspection. They should not at any time give a written clinical
interpretation of the data derived from the procedure.
Electrodiagnostic technologists who are members of this
Association should not perform any independent needle EMG examination.
Electrodiagnostic technologists who have taken the national
examination should not reveal verbatim, whether in oral or written form,
any questions which appear in the examination, nor the answers to these,
without the express authorization of the Examination Committee. This does
not include the use of those questions designed to be used as samples.
Electrodiagnostic technologists should be able and willing
to share their knowledge with other technologists, either in training
or in other institutions. They should always be willing to assist in any
way possible.
Electrodiagnostic technologists who are members of this
Association and do not adhere to this Code of Ethics shall be subject
to disciplinary guidelines outlined in the Constitution and Bylaws.
