Meet the demand for cross-trained health professionals by adding Electrocardiogram (EKG) skills to your resume. Our comprehensive EKG Technician Training Program prepares you to function as an EKG Technician or Telemetry Tech. An EKG technician is a medical professional trained in operating specialized equipment used to measure the heart's performance, including checking general health and to look for signs of heart disease, heart attack, effects of medication, or causes of unexplained chest pain. Technicians work directly with patients, administer the test, and provide the resulting data to physicians for analysis. This hybrid, noncredit course includes important practice and background information on the anatomy and physiology of the heart, medical disease processes, medical terminology, and legal aspects of patient contact. Students will primarily learn via hybrid online experience through module completion, working at their own pace within weekly deadlines, in-person lab experiences to practice with EKG equipment, and master the function and proper use of the EKG machine. Tuition assistance may fund up to 100 percent of your registration cost for this program. Fill out our funding referral form at www.kirkwood.edu/cefunding.
