The thought of a career in healthcare intrigues you. However, you are not sure that medical school and a clinical career are right for you. Have you ever considered allied healthcare? We can help you prepare for a career in allied healthcare without requiring you to spend a fortune.
Allied healthcare is a subset of the healthcare industry that supports clinical practice. The professionals who work in allied healthcare are physical therapists, radiographers, lab technicians, and more. They assist clinicians in everything from diagnosis to treatment to disease prevention.
Going to school to be a clinician – i.e., a doctor or nurse – requires a considerable commitment of both time and money. You could be in school for 8-10 years and spend hundreds of thousands on your education. If that’s right for you, go for it. But if it’s not, you can receive all sorts of allied healthcare training at a fraction of the cost and in a very short amount of time.

Courses for EKG Technicians
A great example of what we offer at ProTrain is the courses aimed at EKG technicians. The most demanded course in this group is the 60-hour self-paced EKG Technician course that prepares students to take the AMCA EKG Technician Certification (ETC) national certification exam.
The course covers the anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system, along with appropriate patient care and how to actually administer an electrocardiogram. Once completed, a student:
- understands the anatomy of the heart and cardiovascular system
- knows how to prepare a patient for EKG testing
- is proficient in recording EKG data and managing equipment
- is able to accurately interpret EKG rhythm strips
As with most of the courses in our healthcare category, course requirements vary by state. Check with your state to see if you need any prior training or experience to become an EKG technician. You can also contact us at info@protrain.edu to learn more about the course itself.

One of the best things about training with ProTrain is that most of our courses are designed as self-paced offerings. This includes the previously mentioned EKG Technician course. Self-paced means that coursework is completed online at whatever pace is right for you. You complete the work when it fits into your schedule.
A self-paced course with 12 months of access gives you a full year to complete coursework. You are under no pressure to do it any sooner. If you can finish in just three months, great. You’re ready to move on. If it takes you the full 12 months, that’s great too.
