The field for Echo Cardiovascular Technicians is booming! Demand for echo technicians has increased due to the number of 'babyboomers' who are quickly becoming senior citizens and need medical care.
Step1
Study mathmatics, English, health, and both physical and life sciences in high school.
Step2
Complete an accredited community college 2-year degree program in Cardiovascular Technology.
Step3
Check to be sure the program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Cardiovascular Technology. Only graduates from these programs can sit for the Registry Exam, which is a requirement prior to seeking employment.
Step4
Take a course in medical terminology too if it's offered.
Step5
Gain experience as an EKG Tech while working on your 2-year degree program. EKG Techs only require a 1-year certificate program, and on-the-job training usually lasts 8-16 weeks. Working part-time as an EKG Tech is a great way to gain experience and make contacts with future employers.
Step6
Sit for the Registry Exam.
Step7
Register as a professional cardiovascular technologist with the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonogrpahers (ARDMS), or Cardiovascular Credentialing International.
Step8
Apply for positions within cadiology departments, cardiac rehabilitation centers, ambulatory surgery centers; and both adult and pediatric cardiologist offices in private practice.
