The TMS Technician operates transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) equipment to deliver non-invasive brain stimulation treatments, most commonly for depression. The technician handles day-to-day sessions, from safety screening and device setup to monitoring patients throughout each treatment.

  • Administer and score questionnaires / rating scales (e.g., PHQ-9, GAD-7) and track progress across the course
  • Patient coordination and scheduling — manage the multi-week treatment calendar and keep the course on track
  • Coordinate with the treating psychiatrist and the supervising psychiatrist on the team; escalate clinical or safety concerns promptly
  • Maintain treatment-room readiness — equipment checks, supplies, cleaning, and room turnover
  • Accurate documentation in the EMR
  • Provide patient education and support, building rapport across the treatment course

Education
