EKG Acquisition Curriculum for Pediatric Trainees.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Pediatric residency trainees interface with electrocardiograms (EKG) as part of routine clinical care. Depending on workflow and availability of support staff, trainees may be required to obtain EKGs on patients, though training on this skill varies.

Methods

A team of physicians, EKG technicians, and simulation educators designed a 30-min didactic and experiential learning opportunity for incoming pediatric trainees held prior to their start of clinical responsibilities. During the session, trainees were introduced to the basics of EKG acquisition and common quality issues that a
