If you have ever thought about becoming an Electrophysiology technician, then this article is for you. You’ll learn everything you ever wanted to know about Electrophysiology technician, where an Electrophysiology technician work, how much they get paid, what kind of additional in-service training they do need, how you can become an Electrophysiology technician, some of the dangers involved in the job, when you can expect to retire and how you can make difference in the lives of the people you serve. After that, you will be much prepare and you will have more knowledge to pursue in this field.
Well, you will be responsible for using electroencephalography, electromyography and other electrophysiological diagnostic devices used to detect movements or electric currents emitted by organs or by biological systems.
The Electrophysiology technician has to manipulate and use electrical devices with precision in order to correctly record the data of the patient to allow the doctor to make the best diagnosis.
Well, when they arrive they usually have to see what patient they are going to have and read the patient history to understand the nature of the problem and decide what tests and procedures are needed. After that, they prepare the patient, describe and explain to the patient all the steps and procedures carried out during the examination and if the patient has any questions or concerns they will answer. Before the end of the day they have to give the doctor all the reports of the patients so the doctor can examine them. They do that all day.
Electrophysiology technicians work in a variety of place. They are usually employed in clinics, hospitals and medical laboratories.
In Quebec, to become an Electrophysiology technician, you must complete a 3-year cegep program in Medical Electrophysiology technician.
The average Electrophysiology salary in Canada is $53,362 per year that means $27.37 per hour. After that, you can go to $78,862 per year while most experienced workers make up to $99,888 per year
Due to the many changes in the medical field, Electrophysiology technicians has to stay current with training throughout their careers, so they can always provide the best care based on the latest health research. Some hospital doesn't have the same rules, so they may have to get to know the rule and how the system is organized.
There is no danger. However, Electrophysiology technicians may meet some aggressive patients and do come crazy stuff.
There will always be Electrophysiology technicians because their electrical equipment is still progressing so it will take a lot of time. Also, the patient needs empathy and a robot can't provide that. Also, there's some test that needs to be specific because we are placing electrodes on the body of the patient and a robot wouldn't be able to do that because there is a lot of variant on a human body.
Paramedics retire around the age of 60 and sometime much later because the job is not really physique so its really good.
As a 2nd year in college, I look forward to becoming an Electrophysiology technician. By having this information you are now more aware of what it does and what you have to do. I hope it has encouraged you to pursue in this field.
