IOM Technologist- Denver, CO

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.

About the role

Your Role in the Operating Room

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

• Patient Assessment
  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.
• Intraoperative Monitoring
  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.
• Team Collaboration
  You work side-by-side with surgeons, anesthesiologists, and OR staff. Your communication and expertise directly influence surgical decisions and patient outcomes.
• Data Integrity
  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.
• Quality & Innovation
  You contribute to a culture of continuous improvement — helping make care better not just for today's patients, but for every patient who follows.
