January 23, 2015
Austin, TX
2) To Provide Cardiac Monitoring Center Accreditation to Hospitals
and facilities who demonstrate an acceptable standard of practice in
their system-wide monitoring of cardiac patients, and who have
100% of their Cardiac Monitoring Staff Board Certified in EKG
Recording, Reading, and Responding.
Why you should not miss this Cardiac Monitoring Course:
First of all, your faculty was trained by the late Henry J. L. Marriott,
MD, FACC who set the Standards for Cardiac Monitoring. We have
further evolved these Standards to meet the needs of a host of
Cardiac Diseases and Anomalies found in all Cardiac Monitored
areas within the Cardiology Arena.
What Marriott brought to Cardiac Monitoring Practice was “Pride in
Practice and Accuracy in Lead Placement and Interpretation,”
for all Cardiovascular Professionals, not just the Doctors. The
Society of Cardiac Monitoring offers the Highest Standard of EKG
Practice and Education in the Industry; and can easily say that our
experience is second to none.
And Second, the Society provides you the opportunity to become a
Board Certified Cardiac Monitor Technician, EKG Technician, or
Telemetry Nurse.
Ladies & Gentlemen,
“The Heart Writes a Best
Seller, Learn to Read
it Well.”
