Are we better than cardiologists at reading EKGs?
I've realized over the years that I read an inordinate amount of EKGs throughout my shifts. Alot of these are ordered out in triage and unecessary in my opinion but we still have to read them. I wondered if with all of these reads this makes us more competent than any other specialty in reading EKGs. I would assume a cardiologist doesn't order an EKG on every single patient in the clinic.

To post-bacc or not to post-bacc
Greetings! I am a non-trad with a 20 year dream to accomplish. I completed all pre-med reqs in early-mid 2000's along with all coursework for a master's in cell/molecular bio.
