The EKG Technician training program will prepare students for national certification as a Certified EKG Technician (CET) and a Certified Customer Service Professional (CCSP). EKG/ECG technicians work in healthcare facilities specializing in EKG testing for patients. These tests help detect irregularities that may result in a heart attack or heart disease. Common duties include explaining procedures to patients, monitoring blood pressure and positioning patients. After completing our program, graduates will also know how to apply Holter monitors and assist cardiologists with stress testing. Throughout the program, students will gain knowledge of medical terminology and disease processes. They will become familiar with healthcare settings and roles of EKG/ECG technicians in the EKG course and complete a customer service course, because customer service is a priority in situations with direct patient care. Upon completion of this program, students will be assisted in seeking an Experiential Learning opportunity, where they will demonstrate hands-on skills in a real-world environment, under a licensed/certified professional in the field.
