Electrocardiograph Technician

Duties and responsibilities:  An electrocardiograph technician defines procedures to heart patients and attaches electrodes in order to prepare them for required EKG tests. These electrodes are therefore attached to an EKG machine for the purpose of measuring hearts electrical impulses. The computer screen shows the activity of the patient and thus a printout of it is taken out to analyze and conclude the results.

Salary:  $34,385

Education:  Certificate may be required by employers; available through the American Board of Cardiovascular Per-fusion, American Society of Lobotomy Technicians and American Certification Agency for Healthcare Professionals. Required education they have to have a Certificate in EKG technology is common; some enter the field with a high school diploma and on the job training.



Reflection: What this career shows you is that it checks people that have heart problems and sees what kind of treatment they are going to need also they input some electrodes to see the rate of their heart how it’s going.
