12 Lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) Training for Clinical Research Personnel

The NC TraCS Clinical and Translational Research Center (CTRC) will be conducting a 12 lead ECG training for research personnel.

This four-hour course will provide group instruction, practice sessions with a manikin and on a standardized patient, and a short test. Students who satisfactorily complete the course will receive a certificate of completion.

Register

Attendance for the full session is mandatory for satisfactory completion of the course. Please be aware students will be practicing electrode placement on a manikin and on a standardized patient (not on each other) during this course.

Participants taking the course must be UNC employees whose responsibilities include or will soon include performing ECGs for research studies. (UNC students wishing to enroll must also hold a paid research position as a UNC employee.)

Currently, we are not able to offer this course to clinical staff who may obtain training through the hospital, research staff who have not completed required ethics training, or those who are not UNC employees.

Completing this course does not qualify students as licensed personnel, nor does it qualify the student to take any certification exam. This course is not required by the University, rather it fulfills the 21CFR312 requirement that a PI be able to show that study staff are adequately trained to perform a study procedure delegated to them (12 lead ECG, in this case).
