This 11 credit-hour
certificate program provides an in-depth study of the theory and practice
of electrocardiography (ECG). The traditional ECG is a non-invasive
tool that is vital to the identification and differential diagnosis
of illness. Accurate interpretation of ECG tracings is vital to patient
care since it will assist the practitioner to choose therapeutic modalities
and interventions. This certificate is designed for persons interested
in becoming electrocardiographers in a health care facility such as
a physician office, cardiology departments of health care facilities,
cardiac rehabilitation centers, ambulatory surgery centers of health
maintenance organizations.
Completers of the
Electrocardiograph Technician program are encouraged to challenge a
national certification examination to become a certified ECG technician.
