No, it is always considered unprofessional
Yes, to meet board experience requirements and is supervised
Only with patient consent

The correct answer is: Yes, to meet board experience requirements and is supervised

EMG or electroneuromyography is a medical procedure that involves placing electrodes to measure an individual's muscle and nerve activity. Generally, authorization is required for this type of procedure to be performed. However, option A and B are not correct as part of a training program and unprofessionalism do not dictate the authorization of the procedure. Option D is not correct as patient consent alone is not sufficient for the procedure to be performed without authorization. Option C is the correct answer as EMG may be performed without authorization if it is part of meeting board experience requirements and is supervised.
