ELECTROCARDIOGRAM PROGRAM #213OBJECTIVEThis course provides the ability for student to perform Electrocardiograms on clients/patients. EKG rhythms provide important data for the diagnosis of heart conditions. As a Certified EKG Technician (CET), you’ll have the credentials nearly all healthcare employers require to perform the critical tasks of administering EKGs, as well as Holter monitoring and stress testing.

1. Basic anatomy and physiology of the heart2. Emergencies related to cardiac testing (e.g., syncope, chest pain, abnormal vitals)3. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation and basic life supportAs an EKG Technician you may perform some or all of the following tasks:Set up and administer EKGs (electrocardiograms) and stress testsPrepare patients for Holter or ambulatory monitoringEdit and deliver final test results to physicians for analysisSchedule appointmentsTranscribe physicians’ interpretationsThe need for qualified EKG technicians continues to rise as the aging population in America grows (and with it,the prevalence of heart-related conditions). Whether you seek full-time or part-time employment, the opportunities in this profession are flexible and in high demand. Upon completion of this program students will be eligible to take the NHA CET examination to become Certified Electrocardiogram Technician.

determination of the student's grade average for the course of study.

ATTENDANCE POLICY "If a student is absent for 10 consecutive school days or more than 25% of scheduled the course time for the course, whichever is less, the student's enrollment in the course will be terminated.A student whose enrollment was terminated for violation of the attendance policy may not reenroll before the start of the next progress evaluation period . This provision does not circumvent the approved refund policy.

TARDIES AND LEAVES OF ABSENCE The school director may grant a leave of absence after determining that good cause is shown. A student may have no more than two leaves of absence in a 12-month calendar period, and may be on leave of absence no more than 30 calendar days during that 12-month calendar period. School attendance records will clearly define the dates of the student's leave ofabsence. A written statement of the reason(s) leave of absence was granted, signed by both the student and the school director indicating approval, will be placed in the student's permanent file. A student's enrollment in the program will be terminated if the student fails to return asscheduled from an approved leave of absence."

STUDENT COMPLAINTS (Grievance Procedure)Complaints are defined as any student concern regarding the school programs, services, or staff. A student who has a concern about a school-related issue is encouraged to schedule a conference with the school director to find resolution. If an issue is not resolved to a student's satisfaction through the conference, the student can file a formal complaint in writing with the school director who will formally investigate the complaint, take appropriate action, and provide a written response to the student by the 10th business day after the day the formal written complaint is received by member of the school faculty or staff. Note: a conference with the director is not required before a student files a formal written complaint
