Program: ECG Technician
ECG Technicians specialize in conducting ECG tests on patients. ECG stands for “electrocardiogram.” The electrocardiogram is a graphic recording of the electrical activity of the heart used in the investigation of heart disease. ECG technicians work in clinics, doctor’s offices, and hospitals taking medical histories and recording vital signs, explaining procedures, preparing patients for procedures, and assisting physicians during ECG tests. ECG technicians prepare and perform basic tests, dispose of contaminated supplies, and sterilize medical instruments. This program will prepare you to work as an ECG technician, but may also be taken as part of the Clinical Medical Assistant program.
