Cardiac Monitoring Course “Providing Basic EKG Essentials for All Areas of Practice”

The Society’s Mission is Twofold:

1) To Provide Evidence-Based Practice Standards, Educational Guidelines, Certification opportunities to Cardiac Monitor Technicians, EKG Technicians, and Cardiovascular Telemetry Nurses, and…

2) To Provide Cardiac Monitoring Center Accreditation to Hospitals and facilities who demonstrate an acceptable standard of practice in their system-wide monitoring of cardiac patients, and who have 100% of their Cardiac Monitoring Staff Board Certified in EKG Recording, Reading, and Responding.

Why you should not miss this Cardiac Monitoring Course:

First of all, your faculty was trained by the late Henry J. L. Marriott, MD, FACC who set the Standards for Cardiac Monitoring. We have further evolved these Standards to meet the needs of a host of Cardiac Diseases and Anomalies found in all Cardiac Monitored areas within the Cardiology Arena. What Marriott brought to Cardiac Monitoring Practice was “Pride in Practice and Accuracy in Lead Placement and Interpretation,” for all Cardiovascular Professionals, not just the Doctors. The Society of Cardiac Monitoring offers the Highest Standard of EKG Practice and Education in the Industry; and can easily say that our experience is second to none.

And Second, the Society provides you the opportunity to become a Board Certified Cardiac Monitor Technician, EKG Technician, or

Telemetry Nurse.
