Fletcher Tech Launches New Electrocardiograph Technician Program in Schriever Starting June 3

Fletcher Technical Community College in Schriever, LA, is starting a new Electrocardiograph Technician Program on June 3, 2024. The 12-week, 135-hour hybrid program will train students to become electrocardiograph technicians, who perform cardiovascular diagnostic tests. The training covers basic anatomy, physiology, and medical terminology.

The program's curriculum includes online courses and practical lab sessions. Labs are held every Tuesday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the college’s Schriever campus. This format combines theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience.

In the final weeks, students will complete a 40-hour clinical preceptorship in various healthcare settings. Dr. Danielle Vauclin, Dean of Nursing and Allied Health at Fletcher, stated that the program prepares students for immediate employment in line with the college’s mission.

Applicants need a high school diploma or equivalent, must pass a background check, complete immunizations, a physical exam, and a drug screening. The program costs $1,200, but financial aid is available through the Louisiana Workforce Commission and the MJ Foster Promise Program.
