This program prepares students with the essential knowledge and technical skills required to perform electrocardiograms, exercise tolerance tests and ambulatory monitoring in the role of a cardiovascular technologist. The program emphasizes a hands-on approach through in-class clinical simulation and a clinical practicum. Areas of focus include performing various non-invasive cardiac testing such as electrocardiography, stress testing, ambulatory monitoring and pacemaker follow-up. Students develop critical thinking skills by integrating knowledge of cardiac anatomy, pharmacology and various pathophysiology to provide accurate diagnostic information to members of the health-care team.
