This ethical vignette discusses guidelines related to residents working in an EDX laboratory, including: direct supervision by a physician, as defined by Medicare, is the minimum standard recommended for all NCS testing; EDX evaluations should be performed by a physician -- specifically a neurologist or physiatrist -- who has had special training in the diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular diseases; and physicians in a residency or fellowship program require close supervision during the actual testing.
