What you'll learn

Course overview

Introduction to ECG Interpretation Electrocardiogram interpretation is an invaluable clinical skill that is taught in many different ways at across the country. It is often informal and clinicians are expected to "pick it up" as they see patients on the wards and in clinics. There are many "courses" which can be purchased off the shelves at the bookstore -some of them too simplistic and others hopelessly detailed. In an effort to better meet the needs of ECG interpretation this course serves as a self study manual. Differential diagnosis is emphasized to encourage thinking about the "art" of interpretation, not just a cookbook mechanistic approach. It is our sincere hope that you find this course worthwhile and a skill you will continue to use throughout your careers in medicine.
