Cardiology Technician students are trained to perform non-invasive testing (ECG) procedures that provide valuable recorded data in cardiac medical evaluation. Training emphasizes basic and advanced electrocardiology and electrocardiography. Ample ECG equipment is utilized to provide extensive hands-on training. Class size is limited to ensure close supervision during the classroom and practical application of various procedures.

The core curriculum includes the following:

Anatomy & Physiology/Pathophysiology
Therapeutic Communications/HIPAA
Basic ECG (EKG) waveform morphology
Advanced ECG (EKG) waveform morphology
Abnormal ECG (EKG) Rhythms/Arrhythmias
Cardiovascular Pharmacology
CPR
Ultrasound Physics
Vital Signs
IV Administration
Patient Assessment
Basic medical electronics & instrumentation

This program also provides an understanding of the following:

Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in ECG
Exercise stress testing and pacemaker rhythm recognition
Competence in the recognition & interpretation of abnormal ECG (EKG) rhythms.

Due to the technical nature of this program, students must have prior allied health training, recent clinical work experience, and college credits in anatomy & physiology, math, and science.

As required by law, the cost of attendance includes both institutional charges, such as tuition and fees, and institutionally determined expense allowances for living costs, transportation, and other allowable expenses. Living costs are required to be included in cost of attendance calculations regardless of whether housing is provided by the institution or if students reside off-campus. These expense allowances do not represent fees assessed to students by the institution.

These estimated expense allowances are only used for compliance and financial aid eligibility purposes.
