Electrocardiogram Technician - Certificate of Achievement

ECG technician students are trained with 12 lead ECGs, which are tracings of the electrical impulses transmitted by the heart. The technician attaches electrodes to the patient in the correct anatomical location and then operates the ECG machine to obtain a clear and accurate reading. A qualified medical physician then interprets the ECG reading. Graduates can also find employment observing and checking the quality of ECG rhythms on a continuous monitor in hospitals.
