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 assure close supervision during 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.
