ASET

What ASET does

ASET - The Neurodiagnostic Society is a private nonprofit professional membership organization founded in 1959 and headquartered in Lee's Summit, Missouri. It serves individuals working in neurodiagnostic technology — including technologists, specialists, supervisors, lab directors, and managers performing EEG, LTM, IONM, PSG, EP, NCS, and MEG procedures — with a horizontal persona-segmented model. The society's purpose is professional development, continuing education, credentialing support, advocacy, and networking rather than direct technology commercialization.

The product portfolio is anchored by ASET Central (the member engagement platform), the ASET Store (commerce for courses, publications, flashcards, and educational materials), and the ASET CEU Program (continuing education credits recognized by ABRET and BRPT for credential recertification). Supporting offerings include The Neurodiagnostic Journal (peer-reviewed, published continuously since 1961), the Annual Conference (~22 CEUs), the Career Ladder, the Core EEG Curriculum, the EEG Study Guide, the Ambassadors and Veterans Outreach Programs, the Leadership Academy (jointly with ABRET), and the Career Center job board. Standards-setting is delivered through National Competency Skill Standards for each modality and through ASET's role as a sponsoring organization of CoA-NDT.

Commercially, ASET operates on three revenue streams: recurring membership dues (new, current, international, and emerging international tiers), educational/CEU program fees (online courses, live and recorded webinars, seminars, journal quizzes, and the annual conference), and one-time store purchases. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and appears to vary by membership tier and program. Distribution is primarily direct via the website, ASET Central, the ASET Store, the in-person conference, and a regional chapter network. Strategic alliances with ABRET, BRPT, AAET, AANEM, and CoA-NDT (under CAAHEP) lock ASET into the credentialing and accreditation infrastructure of the profession. An associated ASET Foundation accepts donations and funds scholarships. The organization runs with a lean 1-10 employee headcount and no parent company, venture, or institutional ownership.
