This task involves placing adhesives and electrodes on the surface of the exposed chest wall to obtain a tracing of your heart's electrical activity, which involves brief skin contact from the student applying the electrodes. If you are uncomfortable with this please do not register your interest. The students will operate the machine to obtain the ECG and interpret the findings. Each session is divided into two 45 minute segments with about 15 students per session. The students will rotate during the session to enable them all to operate the ECG machine and practice placing the electrodes on the chest wall at the correct positions.
