Evert Maree

Clinical Neurophysiologist(BHSc)
Port Elizabeth

Summary

I started my career as medical device representative. I worked 8 years as a neuromonitoring technician in theatre monitoring where the nervous system may be at risk during surgery. In theatre I guided surgeons and theatre staff in using neuromonitoring equipment effectively . Working as a medical representative in hospitals inspired me to obtain the clinical technology(neurophysiology) degree. Industry exposure made me realize clinical technology is the most appropriate degree available in order to work effectively as a clinical professional in the highly regulated medical device environment. I have strengths in technical knowledge and feel a strong need to develop myself further.


After qualifying as a Clinical Neurophysiologist I started a practice with a fellow Neurophysiologist with the initial backing of a previous employer. Currently we are solidifying our client base and planning for future independent expansion.
