This document provides information about an Electrocardiography/EKG Technician Course offered on Saturdays. The course objectives are to learn cardiac anatomy and physiology, how to identify normal and abnormal waveforms and rhythms on an EKG, and recognize signs of ischemia and infarction. There are no prerequisites for the course, which includes 5 days of interactive lectures and assessments. Students must achieve a cumulative 80% average and pass the final exam with 80% to complete the course. The course covers EKG basics, rhythms, dysrhythmias, blocks, and practice with EKG machines. Students who do not pass the final can take a makeup exam after a week of further study.

Course Objectives At the completion of this course the participant will be able to: 1. Describe the normal cardiac anatomy and physiology and normal electrical conduction through the heart. 2. Identify and relate waveforms to the cardiac cycle. 3. Understand the different lead placements and purpose of each placement. 4. Utilize a systematic process when approaching the interpretation of the ECG. 5. Identify normal and abnormal components on ECG. 6. Recognize sinus, atrial, junctional and ventricular dysrhythmia on ECG and relate cause, significance, symptoms and treatment. 7. Recognize how the 12 lead ECG relates to the areas of the heart. 8. Recognize ischemic, injury, and infarction on the 12 lead ECG

Course Syllabus Quizzes and Exams
4 Progress-Assessment Quizzes 20 Questions (Multiple choice, True/False, Fill in the blank, Rhythm strip analysis) Quizzes count for 40% of the final grade Final Written Exam 25 Questions (Multiple choice, fill in blank, Rhythm Strip analysis) Final counts for 60% of the final grade YOU MUST PASS THE FINAL To pass the course an overall grade of 75% must be attained If the participant gets a final course grade of less than 75% they will have one attempt to retake a makeup final. Participants will have one week to study before retaking make up. Location will be discussed in class.
Final Exam Makeup
If you do not pass the final exam with a score of 75% then you will have to take a makeup final. The process for this is Study for 1 week. 1 week from the class exam date the makeup final will be placed with Paula in Suite 308 Engineering and Science bldg. (Boca Campus) You have 4 days from when the exam is left with Paula to go to her office and take the exam. Once the exam is graded you will be notified by email when your certificate will be ready for pickup (from Paula). The makeup exam and certificate drop off takes approximately 1 week.
