Course Syllabus

Module 1 — Cardiac Anatomy & Electrophysiology

Review of cardiac conduction pathways, SA/AV node function, and correlation with ECG waveforms.

Module 2 — ECG Equipment & Lead Placement

Types of ECG machines, lead configurations, skin prep, and artifact reduction techniques.

Module 3 — Understanding ECG Components

P wave, PR interval, QRS complex, ST segment, and T wave morphology and interpretation.

Module 4 — Sinus & Atrial Rhythms

Normal sinus rhythm, sinus bradycardia/tachycardia, premature atrial contractions, atrial flutter, and fibrillation.

Module 5 — Ventricular & AV Conduction Abnormalities

Ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation, heart blocks, bundle branch blocks, and idioventricular rhythms.

Module 6 — 12‑Lead ECG Analysis

Axis determination, chamber enlargement, ischemia/infarction localization, and case interpretation.

Module 7 — Clinical Correlation & Simulation

Integration of rhythm interpretation with clinical case scenarios, simulation practice, and competency evaluation.

FAQs

Is this course suitable for beginners?

Yes. Foundational theory is covered before supervised hands‑on practice.

Do I need prior IV insertion experience?

No. Experience helps, but the skills lab is designed for all levels.

Will I get a certificate the same day?

Certificates are issued after competency sign‑off, typically same day.
