| The A.A.E.T. originated in San Francisco, California,
in 1974, and was officially incorporated as a non-profit organization in
1985. Its continued quality existence has been enhanced by the now A.A.E.M.
(The American Association of Electrodiagnostic Medicine) and through the
support of the physician organization, we have been able to establish an
examination committee, and to provide the only recognized national certification
examination. This certification examination and its recognized credibility
by the practicing Electrodiagnostic consultant, guarantees to the employer
that the technologist so hired, is a certifiably knowledgable, competent,
and qualified professional in the field of nerve conduction studies, as
part of electroneurodiagnostic technology. |
| The membership concurs with the current Guidelines
of the American Association of Electrodiagnostic Medicine and agrees by
virtue of this membership to compliance with these standards. |
| The membership of the A.A.E.T. preserves human
dignity, respects patients' rights, and supports the well being of the patient
under the care of each member. The membership avoids discrimination against
individuals on the basis of race, creed, religion, sex, age or national
origin. |
| The membership of the A.A.E.T. appreciates
the importance of thoroughness in the performance of duty, compassion with
patients and the significance of the tasks each member performs. |
| The membership agrees to adhere to the preservation
of confidentiality of medical and personal information of the patient. |
| The membership strives to remain abreast of
current technology and to study and apply scientific advances to each's
specialty. |
| The membership respects the law and does not
illegally or unethically practice. |
| The membership respects that the interpretation
of the results of nerve conduction studies is the domain of the electrodiagnostic
consultant (MD, DO, or other physician so approved as skilled in electrodiagnostic
medicine) |
