Program Overview
In the diagnosis of acute coronary syndromes, 12 Lead ECG results can lead to rapid, effective treatment. While blood work results – particularly Troponin - also support a diagnosis, the 12 Lead ECG is typically first to the mark, often by hours. When combined with a patient assessment and history, systematic 12 Lead ECG interpretation is key to timely intervention and optimal patient outcomes.

"a nice, concise, practical way to approach 12 lead interpretation so as to support clinical decision making." - Alex (Mar 22, 2022)
"As an ER RN I am often the first to review the EKG - and alert Physicians of any questionable ekgs. We often do ekgs on the non typical chest pains, so being able to id any potential issues is very important. I really needed to develop a more systematic approach to EKG's, I currently find myself "scattered" - I look for the key things but now I have a more systematic approach that I can implement in my practice. Time frame was decent." - Tanya
"the 3 simple steps can tell you where to look or where the issue is from. from that you can tell what you see with those steps" - Michael (Feb 2022)
"This class was great. It was my second time taking it. I should have stuck with the 3 step process vs. the 10 step I had to learn from job. This makes the process of identifying the rhythm much easier and you are able to make sense of where the impulse is originating from." - Nika (Feb 2022)
"Excellent content and teaching tailored to each learners work environment and skill set."- Kate (Jan 2022)
"Excellent relevant course delivered in a captivating and efficient manner." - Khadija (Jan 2022)
"I honestly didn't know what to expect. I've read the infamous orange book cover to cover and still didn't understand. Taking this course was an effort to help and hopefully make a huge part of my future career and little easier to understand when I start school. I am EVER so grateful for this course and for what I was able to learn...this course has definitely made things click! The simple steps toward reading EKGs was helpful and stick well. Very impressed by this course. I liked the small class size and engagement. I want all of my colleagues to take this course! I honestly wasn't sure how the online format would work but as someone who is an advocate for in person learning, this online format worked!" - Alia (Jan 2022)
"The part that resonated with me was being able to quickly recognize various rhythms and that the process always starts with evaluating your patient. It's really easy to focus on the heart monitor and not the patient so beginning with that as the first set of the process really helps." - Marcel (Sep 2021)
"Stimulating topics as well mostly because it was so practical. Walking through real scenarios helps in decision making in real life. Revisiting the pharmacodynamics of the medications we use is very helpful because it translates to real life usage." - Jason (June 2021)
"clear, direct approach to teaching. entertaining and educational. open conversation with real life anecdotes was v. helpful" - Eleanor (Mar 2021)
