The EKG Technician program prepares individuals to perform confidently and efficiently in a job where they are responsible for performing diagnostic tests to access the heart rythm and rate in patients.

EKG's are performed in many settings: pre and post operations, during physicals, for patients with a history of heart disease, when patients are experiencing chest pains and whenever a physician deems it necessary.

The well trained EKG technician is an integral part of the management of patients with heart disease. Students will be eligible to take the State and/or National certification exam for Electrocardiogram Technician.
