What is an EKG Technician?
EKG Technicians are responsible for performing
electrocardiogram tests in order to monitor and
record electrical impulses transmitted by the heart.
Theses tests include basic EKGs, Holter Monitoring
(portable EKG which records activity for 24-48
hours.), 12-lead placement and Stress Tests
(treadmill). They assist a physician in diagnosing and
treating cardiac and blood vessel irregularities.
Course Prerequisites: Must be at least 18 years of age Must provide proof of high school completion (or equivalent) Foreign students must provide a notarized English
