This 48-hour course prepares the student to perform routine electrocardiograms. These readings assist the physician to diagnose irregularities or changes in a patient’s heart. Students will be trained 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.
Note: Some businesses may not hire individuals under 18 years old and without a High School Diploma/GED equivalency.
