Guardian In The Operating Room

Be a guardian in the operating room. Sign-on bonus available

IOM Technologist | MPOWERHealth

Every surgery has a team protecting the patient. You are the one protecting their nervous system.

When a patient goes under anesthesia for a complex spinal or neurological procedure, they place extraordinary trust in the hands around them. As an IOM Technologist at MPOWERHealth, you are a critical part of that circle of care — monitoring the patient's brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves in real time, ready to act the moment something needs attention.

This isn't just a technical role. It's a calling for someone who understands that their skill and focus can mean the difference between a patient walking out of the hospital or not. If that kind of purpose drives you, we want you on our team.

Responsibilities

What you'll do: Protect patients. Partner with surgeons. Make a difference.

Your role in the operating room

Every case is different. Every patient is counting on you. Here's how you show up for them:

• Before the first incision, you meet with patients, review their history, and explain what neuromonitoring means for their safety. You are often their last reassuring voice before surgery begins.

Patient Assessment:

• You are the eyes on the nervous system throughout the procedure — continuously reading electrophysiological data, spotting early warning signs, and alerting the surgical team in real time when it matters most.

Intraoperative Monitoring:

• You work side-by-side with surgeons, anesthesiologists, and OR staff. Your communication and expertise directly influence surgical decisions and patient outcomes.

Team Collaboration:

• You interpret complex waveforms, correlate findings with surgical events, and document everything with precision. Your records protect the patient long after they leave the OR.

Data Integrity:

• You contribute to a culture of continuous improvement — helping make care better not just for today's patients, but for every patient who follows.
