Choosing An Online Arrhythmia Interpretation Course

By Linda Ruiz


Many people all over the world are benefiting from the opportunity of furthering their education online. An online arrhythmia interpretation course is useful for physicians, pharmacists, monitor techs and other health care providers. On completion of the course they are able to recognize normal cardiac rhythms and are prepared to recognize basic cardiac arrhythmias.

Before selecting a particular course, it is important to examine factors such as content, length and cost. It is important to know if those offering the courses have the necessary experience and accreditation. Other factors that may influence a decision are the way in which classes are conducted and what access is available to instructors as well as the methods used to reinforce and test learning.

Content should be arranged in a logical, easy to follow manner. It is usually possible to get access to a portion of the material prior to registering. A basic course often begins with normal cardiac rhythms before moving on to certain arrhythmias. Signs, symptoms and the consequences of these arrhythmias are covered. The objective is to help health providers to recognize them and understand the related medical responsibilities.

The length of such courses vary according to the amount of content covered and the experience level of the students. For example, some are specifically designed for nurses with some prior knowledge. One of the benefits of such courses is that they are self-paced. This means that students can go more quickly or slowly, depending on how easily they absorb new knowledge. There is usually a specific date given for completion.

Many courses can be completed entirely online but sometimes supplementary textbooks are suggested. These can be helpful in reinforcing knowledge and providing practice. They are particularly useful if students have little prior knowledge. Calipers are also usually required and can often be ordered on the site.

When doing such courses, it is important to consider feedback. Self-assessment is usually conducted at the end of a particular lesson to see if the material has been understood. Some find this self assessment sufficient but many others need the opportunity to ask questions and discuss problems. Most courses feature a combination of audio and interactive activities. Discussion groups and forums can be helpful.

Once a decision has been made to purchase one of these courses, paying with a credit card or via PayPal is possible. Registration forms will need to be completed as well. After this a user name and password will be supplied so the student can log in to the site and begin lessons.

Before beginning such courses it is important to understand what is required and to keep the end date in mind. Some courses require a proctor such as a nurse manager for supervision of the final exam. A certificate is usually issued once the final exam is passed and may be sent via email or posted to the student.
