USESOM Students Get Hands-on Training in EKG Interpretation

Students at the University of Sint Eustatius School of Medicine have sampled one of the many new hands-on workshops created to improve their medical education. The EKG interpretation workshop was created by second-year medical student Marc Ginsburg and was presented to the medical students this month. During the course of the workshop, the medical students are trained to interpret the electrocardiogram (EKG), and to recognize dangerous abnormal rhythms of the heart. The workshop was a tremendous success and will be incorporated into the medical curriculum for USESOMs current and future medical students.
