Teaching Strategies
Introduce students to “Electrocardiography” using the following techniques:
1. Have students discuss why they are taking the program and why they think ECG will
be necessary for their career objective.
2. Have students visit a clinic, hospital, or outpatient area to discuss with healthcare
professionals how ECGs are utilized in their area.
3. Present a variety of equipment that has changed over the last 10 years, such as
defibrillators and pacemakers. With the presentation, have students discuss how
technology advancements have changed the practice. Examples may include:
technology of mobile phones have allowed ECGs to be electronically transmitted to
a physician’s computer/phone from the back of an ambulance.
4. Encourage students to discuss their personal stories about how heart disease has
affected them, their family, or someone they know. With this discussion, identify the
risk factors for heart disease and stroke and ways to prevent them. Suggest
identifying differences due to gender or cultural background and how to prevent
heart diseases.
5. Have students identify different locations where AEDs (automatic external
defibrillators) are used.
6. Relate the importance of and responsibility for performing accurate diagnostic tests.

Suggest that students personalize the concept by stressing that they would expect
accurate test results for themselves, a friend, or a significant other.
7. Have students compare and contrast the roles of various healthcare professionals
with regard to EGCs.
8. Have students discuss the purpose of ECGs, including common pathology for this
test.
9. Emphasize the importance of infection control through hand hygiene, precautions,
and use of personal protective equipment.
