Learning to read ECGs is like learning another language. You have to start with the letters, then build words and understand their meanings. After that you can begin to put together sentences that make sense. If you don't learn the basic rules of a language and then practice frequently, you will never truly be fluent in it. Obviously, the best way to practice is to interact with someone who speaks natively.
Dr. Nick Tullo is a practicing Cardiac Electrophysiologist and award-winning educator. He created ECG Academy, but just like every static course, once you have watched the lessons and tutorials there is still a chance that you might miss things without practicing your skills. "If you don't use it, you lose it," right? To that end, Dr. Nick has recorded over 600 "ChalkTalk" coaching videos that are the "next best thing to being there"... he starts with an unknown tracing and shows you step-by-step what you have to look for. He teaches you how to think like an EP Doc! However, if you don't entirely "get it," you cannot easily ask a question.
That's where LIVE ECG MASTERCLASSES come in. Here is your chance to learn from the expert in a live environment, where you can ask a question and have it answered by the Professor. There is nothing else like it on the Internet, and ECG Academy is planning to deliver a new Masterclass every month. These will be for experienced readers who want to hone their skills further and reach a new level of proficiency. We hope to open doors in your career and help make you a resource in the hospital or the medical office.
The approach to these Masterclasses will mostly be case-based,,, there will be a brief case presentation, then a discussion centering around the ECGs. The purpose is to bring in a certain CLINICAL aspect of ECGs so you will be able to apply your newly gained expertise to real patients. The day and time of each session will vary, to give viewers in different time zones a chance to be part of the class. The good news is that if you miss a Masterclass, we will provide access to recordings afterwards, so you can still learn a great deal from the presentation.
The pilot of the all new 2024 series of ECG Masterclasses ("A Tale of Two Syncopes") was presented on December 7, 2023 and was very successful.

The last Masterclass was held in November and was all about Implantable Cardiac Monitors or Implantable Loop Recorders (ILRs). This was the 22nd live ECG Masterclass, presented by Dr. Nick Tullo, and was a CORNUCOPIA of valuable information about when to use an ILR, how to actually implant one correctly (including the mistakes that most implanters make), and when to wonder if your ILR is not working right. Dr. Nick helped make sense of all this and gave his electrophysiologic insights that will make you a better ECG Reader!
These Masterclasses are advanced level discussion so you will be able to delve deeply into the analysis of ECGs, but they are also designed to be more CLINICAL --- so you can understand how to TREAT patients once you make the correct ECG diagnosis. Dr. Nick’s philosophy is to share his decades of experience with you, provide comprehensive training, and help you look at arrhythmias in a whole new light, which is why ECG Academy is the BEST Way to Learn ECGs.
As a Cardiac Electrophysiologist, Dr. Nick reads ECGs differently from cardiologists, and he shares Tips and Tricks and his secrets that will help you become an Expert in your workplace, whether that is in the field, in the Emergency Dept, on a telemetry unit, in the ICU/CCU or the Cath lab. If you click on the "Masterclass Collection" link above, you can purchase access to many of these classes so you'll still be able to benefit from the discussion and become comfortable with this Advanced level topic. Otherwise sign up as a Premier member and have access to the entire library of Masterclass recordings. ECG Academy helps you look at arrhythmias in a whole new light, and with a 4.9 rating on Trustpilot you won't find anything on the internet that comes close. Ultimately, helping you make the right diagnosis will lead to optimal patient care, which, after all, is what we all strive towards.
If you are already a member of ECG Academy, you will be receiving an email invitation to the next Live ECG Masterclass. Premier Level members have free access to all Masterclasses and do not need to register.
