This 48 hour EKG Technician course prepares the student to perform routine electrocardiograms. These readings assist the physician to diagnose irregularities or changes in the patient's heart. The class will train students to recognize normal and abnormal rhythms, document rhythm strips to provide reliable test results for the physician's interpretation, administer the EKG, and operate the electrocardiograph machine. EKG Technicians may be employed in hospitals, emergency care clinics or physicians offices. They may also function as entry level monitor technicians.
