The Maritime’s population has more heart risk factors than the national average, and with constant improvements in treatment, people are living better with their disease; therefore, having to use cardiac diagnostic services on a more frequent basis. By becoming a Cardiology Technologist, you will be able to perform Exercise Stress Testing, Scan Holter Monitoring and Pacemaker follow-up, among other duties that Non-Registered ECG Technicians (NRET) are unable to perform.

 

Registered Cardiology Technologists (RCT) are working in diagnostic departments across New Brunswick and although there are also many NRETs to assist, there is a growing demand for RCTs due to their broad knowledge and expertise. New Brunswick is looking to employ only RCTs and; therefore, will not offer any permanent positions to NRETs unless they can acquire certification within a required time frame. 

 

There are several program admission requirements that must be submitted to the Program Advisor prior to your program start date. 

 

The Cardiology Technologist program has been approved by the CSCT and the Private Occupational Training Association (POTA). Funding is available for the program through various resources. To find out more information about the program and career, please contact our Program Advisor or click here to download more information.
