What does an EKG Technician do?
EKG technicians generally work in busy healthcare settings. They work in hospitals, outpatient centers, doctors’ offices, and labs. EKG technician duties may include: scheduling patient appointments, running EKGs (electrocardiograms) and stress tests, prepping patients for Holter or ambulatory monitoring, editing and delivering test results to physicians, transcribing doctors’ notes, and much more. As an EKG technician, you can expect to be on your feet for most of the day as you bring patients from the waiting room to their testing rooms. EKG technicians also may need to offer extra hands-on assistance to the frail and elderly who come in for EKGs.
