MED-ECG-501: Practical Electrocardiogram (ECG) - Short Course -30 Credit Points
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the most ordered investigations in cardiovascular medicine practice. This is due to it being a cheap, non-invasive and widely available test. Although cardiology has much evolved, with newer and complicated investigations, the ECG has remained one of the most important investigations. The test is mandatory in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction, a life-threatening cardiac emergency. Furthermore, all cardiac conditions require an ECG to compliment the clinical and other investigations in making definitive diagnoses. With increase in diseases of lifestyle in our communities, more clinicians find themselves facing more patients with cardiovascular conditions in their day to day clinics, and often order an ECG as part of the baseline investigations. However, interpretation and making use of the ECG findings requires skills and knowledge. Unfortunately, many clinicians find it difficult and are not confident in ECG interpretation on a range of cardiac conditions. This could partly be resulting from limited exposure to ECG interpretation during clinical medicine training, but also lack of continuous medical education in this area. This course, therefore, intends to furnish trainees with the practical knowledge and skills to confidently conduct, interpret and report on an ECG taken from a wide range of clinical situations and commonly encountered cardiovascular conditions

Dear Participants, As we prepare to begin our Online ECG Course tomorrow, I would like to confirm that you are able to access the learning platform. You may have noticed several changes to the learning materials, as I am currently updating the course content to provide more recorded video lectures instead of PDF-based lectures, making your learning experience more engaging and interactive. These updates will be finalized by the end of today, and all the required learning materials will be available for you to access. Please reply to this comment so that I know you are connected and following the class updates. Professor Chillo
