Description

Welcome to the EKG Club!

The EKG Club is open to all health care professionals who wish to participate in discussions about EKGs. We cover everything from basic arrhythmias to advanced 12 lead interpretation, as well pharmacology and other issues related to emergency cardiac care. We have a nice mix of health care professionals at the EKG Club that includes paramedics, nurses, technologists, and physicians. The tone here is professional and respectful. You must be a health care professional to join the EKG Club! SPAM will not be tolerated, and new members should identify their level of training and their reason for joining the list.
