What does cross-training in Echo and EKG actually look like in practice?
For Lisa, a 2017 Cardinal Tech graduate and Echo-Vascular Registered Technician, it's just a normal week.
"A typical day could be 8 to 9 patients, sometimes more both echo and vascular, some days helping in the stress lab, and EKGs on the floor as well."
That kind of versatility doesn't just make you more valuable to your care team β it opens doors that a single certification alone won't. Lisa built that range by investing in her training, and it's paid off every day since.
"I honestly love everything about my job, interacting with the patients & my coworkers, everyday you learn something new. I'm so blessed to be where I am today!!"
If you're already working in Echo and want to expand your skill set, Cardinal Tech's Online EKG Course was built for people exactly like you.
