ECG/Phlebotomy
WVEIS 0720
Upon successful completion of this course, students will master competencies consistent with entry-level career
responsibilities in the areas of ECG Technician and Phlebotomist. Course components will focus upon an introduction to
the health care delivery system, legal responsibilities, infection control and safety, communication, quality assurance, as
well as theory and procedures related to the performance of phlebotomy and electrocardiography. Current technology will
be utilized to master course standards. Students will utilize problem-solving techniques and participate in hands-on
activities to develop an understanding of course concepts. Teachers will provide each student with real world learning
opportunities and instruction related to healthcare. The West Virginia Standards for 21 st Century Learning include the
following components: 21st Century Content Standards and 21st Century Learning Skills and Technology Tools. All West
Virginia teachers are responsible for classroom instruction that integrates learning skills, technology tools, and content
standards and objectives. Students are encouraged to become active members of Health Occupations Students of
America (HOSA), the Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO) for health science education students.
