EKG or cardiographic technicians specialize in electrocardiograms (EKG’s), stress testing and Holter monitors. Employment of EKG technologists and technicians is expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations through the year 2012.

Cardiovascular technicians, who specialize in electrocardiograms (EKGs), stress testing, and Holter monitors are known as cardiographic, or EKG technicians. An EKG test is done before most kinds of surgery or as part of a routine physical examination.

Phlebotomists are health care professionals who draw blood and other specimens from patients or blood donors for medical testing and processing.

Phlebotomists work in hospitals, HMO’s, home health agencies, clinics, large medical offices, laboratories and blood banks. The demand for phlebotomists is rising. Increased population growth and the number of laboratory tests ordered by physicians due to advances in biotechnology have contributed to the demand.

Earnings vary widely and are generally influenced by experience, qualifications and certification status.

Program Features include:

• Each certificate can be completed in one month and includes an internship experience in a clinical setting.

• Use your current company or one of ours to complete the clinical requirements.
