        EKG Technician Certification (ETC)
        Certification Description
        EKG Technicians assist physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of various cardiovascular problems. Areas of practice for cardiovascular technologists include invasive cardiology, vascular cardiology and echocardiography. An EKG technician is someone who works in the area of echocardiography. According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, the expected growth for EKG technicians is anticipated to be about 24% from 2008-2018. EKG technicians have the education to provide electrocardiograms (EKGs), ultrasounds, and sonograms of a patient's heart. An EKG is a medical test that records the heart's electrical impulses. Although a hospital is a common place where an EKG technician may work, clinics, acute care facilities as well as doctor's offices are also ideal places for an EKG technician to work.
