The career summery is a good option for you if you are not sure what do you want to study or if you do not know exactly what the medical physiology is about. In this summery I would let you know the basic information about how to become a medical electrophysiology technologist, where you can work as a technologist, the salary that you can make by years, among other things.
It is a big responsibility to be a technologist because we need to manipulate with precision the machines to ensure a quality record to allow the doctor to make right diagnosis because of that we can save lives or give a better quality of life to a patient.
Being a technologist consists of register the electrical currents of the abnormal cells and tissues to help the doctor to diagnose of the certain diseases such as dementia, carpal tunnel syndrome, epilepsy and some heart disease.
The first things that the technologist makes to start a day is to check the machines, prepare the work area and prepare the material. Once the patient arrives you have to check the prescription, verify the identity of the patient, explain the procedure to the patient, if he is nervous you have to calm him down, and if he has questions you will resolve his doubts. Then, you go to do the medical examination with the help of the machines. In one day you can work in one or more departments according to the hospital. The most well-known examinations in medical Electrophysiology are rest and exercise electrocardiogram, electroencephalogram and sleep study.
A technologist in medical Electrophysiology have many options where he can work: 1. Hospitals. These jobs are the best option because you work for the government and the compensation package is more attractive. The only disadvantage is that a technologist has the obligation to work a weekend every two weeks. 2. Private clinics. These jobs are advantageous too but the salary is less than working for the government, but usually they don’t work weekends. 3. Research Centers. The vacant positions are very limited, and the salary is not very attractive. 4. Educational institutions. You can work as a teacher, if you like to transmit your knowledge and work with young people. This would be the best option for you!
A person who wants to become a technologist in Electrophysiology medical must study a technical career from 3 to 4 years at a College, this period depends on you, if you want to study full time or part-time. After finishing your studies to be able to practice you have to pass an admission to examination to the profession of the Order (OTIMROEPMQ), and you also have to pass a French exam.
The minimum wage is 23.10 dollars per hour on the first scale up to a maximum of 31.99 dollars per hour.
After graduating, all the medical technologists who wish to perform any of the following activities: programming a pacemaker defibrillator, perform a cardiac ultrasound, perform carotid Doppler, etc. Must, have to an extra training certificate. Also, every year we need to make some hours or courses that require l'OTIMROEPMQ to maintain the certification.
How in other careers are risks in medical Electrophysiology too. The principals dangers are the biologic liquid, the ergonomic problems and the radiation caused by machines, but if you respect the principles of safety there will be not a problem.
They will not be completely replaced by the robots, but we will work together. The technology is not a 100% reliable and always the exams needs to be interpreted, using the sense of observation. And the more important thing, the human contact will never be replaced by the robots.
A medical Electrophysiology technologist can start receiving his retirement pension at age 60 years, but the amount will be less than if he waits for the normal retirement age 65 years. If you are over 65 years, your pension will be higher.
Medical technology is a great job for you, if you like to work with people, if you are able to work under pressure and answers to the emergencies, if you like to be multi-tasks and if you feel confident using the machines. Overall, this jobs is perfect for someone wants to help the patients to have a better life.
