We are Emergency Medicine clinicians and ECG experts. Dr. Jesse McLaren developed the HEARTS approach to ECG interpretation – a clinically based approach to ECG interpretation that is easy to remember and apply. Our courses are designed to provide you with a solid foundation in ECG interpretation and analysis, with practical applications for real-world scenarios. Join us in exploring the exciting world of ECGs!
Our Mission
Empowering YOU to master ECG interpretation to improve patient outcomes.
Our mission is to provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to confidently interpret ECGs. We believe that ECG interpretation should NOT be anxiety provoking. ECG teaching should be accessible to all current and future healthcare practitioners, regardless of their speciality or level of training. That's why we offer 4-varying level courses, each designed to meet the learning needs of a different learning group. Our pedagogical approach uses a flipped classroom model and case based learning with iterative exposure to the HEARTS approach and real life cases. Our approach is designed to help you learn at your own pace. You will be provided with pre-reading materials, pre-course self-assessment, in-course worksheet, and post-course self-assessment.
