About Cardiology Allied Health Jobs
Employment of Allied Health technologists and technicians is expected to grow faster than the average compared to other industries through the year 2012. Growth will occur as the population ages because older people have a higher incidence of heart problems. Employment of allied health professionals will grow as advances in vascular technology and sonography reduce the need for more costly and invasive procedures. However, fewer EKG technicians will be needed, as hospitals train nursing aides and others to perform basic EKG procedures. Individuals trained in Holter monitoring and stress testing are expected to have more favorable job prospects than are those who can perform only a basic EKG.
Some job openings for Allied Health technologists and technicians will arise from replacement needs, as individuals transfer to other jobs or retire. (Source: Occupational Outlook Handbook)
