Introduction to Electrocardiography (ECG) Course Objectives
At the conclusion of Introduction to ECG participants will be able to:
- Discuss the cardiac anatomy essential for understanding the basic principles of ECG interpretation.
- Discuss the difference between depolarization and repolarization.
- List three ECG complexes.
- List two common ECG abnormalities encountered in clinical practice using a standard 12-lead ECG tracing.
Course Credit & Completion Time
Students have access to Introduction to ECG for one full year. This course is self-paced and completion time is dependent upon on many factors including the student’s prior knowledge, internet connection speed and reading comprehension. The testing in this course is based on progress and knowledge retention rather than strictly on the number of correct answers.
Introduction to ECG utilizes a nontraditional assessment mechanism. Certificates are generated once a student reaches a 95% average rating across all of the exercise categories. Ratings are determined by progress indicators contained in the course. Ratings rise and fall as you respond to the exercise questions. If you answer a question incorrectly the courseware will return the correct response with detailed feedback. You will be asked additional questions on that topic as you progress and the course adjusts based your knowledge level. Earn back your rating points by answering the questions correctly the next time.
Upon successful completion of the Online Introduction to ECG course students will receive a certificate of completion for 1.6 Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Corexcel is authorized to award CEUs by the International Association of Continuing Education and Training. Acceptance of CEUs is at the discretion of the institution. To determine if your school will convert CEUs to college credit, submit the course objectives and accreditation information for approval before enrolling.
