Electrocardiograph Technician Certificate*

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 or health maintenance organizations.

Completers of the Electrocardiograph Technician program are encouraged to challenge a national certification examination to become a certified ECG technician.
