"A good length of time for the content as it gave time to practice in order to solidify what we learned. Not sure that this course needs to change but I now that I have done this one I do want to do more, like the 12 lead ECG and clinical applications." - Debbie

Six Second ECG Essentials

"This is a very good introductory course. I liked the mix of didactic and actual practice with an expert on hand. The 3-step approach will be very handy. I would recommend this course to anyone regardless of skill level." - Sean

Six Second ECG Essentials

"Very accessible, valuable content and should be mandatory for anyone participating in procedural sedation. There was a targeted effort by the hosts to tailor the delivery of information to the specific needs or goals of the learners." - Lori

SEPSA

"This course reiterated the importance of correctly identifying what is wrong with the patient in order to perform the correct intervention (i.e., the difference between loops and leaks)." - Angela

SSECG-MC

"the 3 simple steps can tell you where to look or where the issue is from. from that you can tell what you see with those steps" - Michael

SSECG Essentials

"This class was great. It was my second time taking it. I should have stuck with the 3 step process vs. the 10 step I had to learn from job. This makes the process of identifying the rhythm much easier and you are able to make sense of where the impulse is originating from." - Nika

SSECG Essentials

"Excellent content and teaching tailored to each learners work environment and skill set."- Kate

SEPSA

"Excellent relevant course delivered in a captivating and efficient manner." - Khadija

SEPSA

"I honestly didn't know what to expect. I've read the infamous orange book cover to cover and still didn't understand. Taking this course was an effort to help and hopefully make a huge part of my future career and little easier to understand when I start school. I am EVER so grateful for this course and for what I was able to learn...this course has definitely made things click! The simple steps toward reading EKGs was helpful and stick well. Very impressed by this course. I liked the small class size and engagement. I want all of my colleagues to take this course! I honestly wasn't sure how the online format would work but as someone who is an advocate for in person learning, this online format worked!" - Alia

SSECG - Essentials

"The part that resonated with me was being able to quickly recognize various rhythms and that the process always starts with evaluating your patient. It's really easy to focus on the heart monitor and not the patient so beginning with that as the first set of the process really helps." - Marcel
