Laboratory experience and clinical experience is provided. The associate degree program is designed to offer additional study in cardiovascular health care for those students who have completed the one-year EKG Technician Certificate Program.
All courses are transferable to the associate degree program.
Students have the option of concentrating in echocardiography or peripheral vascular courses in their second year of study. Echocardiography technicians perform ultrasound studies on the heart, under the supervision of a physician. Peripheral vascular technicians perform non-invasive exams of the upper and lower extremities. Although admission to the college is open, acceptance into the Cardiovascular Program is limited due to the number of students who can be accommodated by the faculty and clinical facilities. Once admitted to the University, each student must file a separate application for the Cardiovascular Technology Program with the College Selective Admissions Committee.
