EKG Technician
Consider starting your career in the medical field by becoming an electrocardiograph technician (EKG).

This early detection enables timely diagnosis and treatment, lowering the risk of severe complications and improving patient outcomes. MedCerts’ 12-week EKG certification properly familiarizes you with the healthcare setting, allowing you to explain procedures, apply Holter monitor, monitor blood pressure and assist with stress testing. By the end of the interactive training, you’ll have certification and skills to work wherever you relocate.
