NDT Students Dive into Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring with Dr. Faisal Jahangiri

On June 30, 2025, the Neurodiagnostic Technology (NDT) program at AIMS Education hosted a virtual guest lecture with Dr. Faisal Jahangiri, Assistant Professor of Instruction in the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Texas (Dallas). Dr. Jahangiri is also President and CEO of Global Innervation LLC, where he leads educational and consulting efforts in intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring. He was a co-author of the 2024 article Intraoperative somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) monitoring: an updated position statement by the American Society of Neurophysiological Monitoring, further highlighting his expertise in the field.

Over the two-hour session, he delivered an in-depth presentation on Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring (IONM), with a spotlight on Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SSEPs). He provided clear, expert guidance on proper electrode placement—especially recording electrodes—and explained why technical precision is critical in preventing nerve injury during surgery.

Dr. Jahangiri also examined the advantages and limitations of far-field evoked potentials, enriching the discussion with real-world examples drawn from thousands of monitored procedures he’s supervised across global hospitals.

Student engagement was a highlight of the event: participants dove into insightful questions, applying their classroom knowledge to complex clinical situations. Dr. Jahangiri’s teaching style fostered a dynamic environment where learning felt both rigorous and deeply relevant to their upcoming internships.

This lecture is part of AIMS Education’s ongoing guest speaker series, designed to bridge theoretical learning and hands-on clinical skill. Bringing in experts like Dr. Jahangiri—with extensive academic, research, and clinical backgrounds—ensures that students receive current, career-focused insights in neurodiagnostics.

AIMS Education extends our sincere gratitude to Dr. Jahangiri for his valuable time and contributions. His expert instruction has enhanced our students’ understanding of IONM applications. We eagerly anticipate further collaborations and guest lectures that support continued academic excellence.
