The Electrocardiography (EKG) Technician program provides students with a strong foundation in
cardiovascular anatomy, patient care procedures, and EKG administration. Students will learn how
the cardiovascular system interacts with other body systems, develop an understanding of legal and
ethical healthcare considerations, and gain practical skills in patient assessment and
communication. The program covers proper EKG lead placement, documentation of procedures,
basic interpretation of EKG tracings, and various types of cardiovascular testing, such as Holter
monitoring and stress testing. Emphasis is placed on maintaining HIPAA compliance and recognizing
situations requiring immediate medical intervention.
