EKG Technician:
Electrocardiograph technicians (EKG) administer EKG tests on patients under the direct supervision of a physician. These tests follow electrical impulses transmitted by the heart, producing a print-out reading that the physician can then use for analysis and diagnosis. Most EKG techs have a high school diploma and certificate training. A typical EKG training program will last between eight to sixteen weeks. Some EKG technicians choose to obtain advanced EKG training in order to perform stress testing. This can lead to a higher salary and increased responsibility of the technician.
