To be a model for Year 2 MBBS students to perform a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG). You will be required to lie on a couch for up to 2 hours (inclusive of breaks) with the torso exposed so the students can practice performing an electrocardiogram. This task involves placing adhesives and electrodes on the surface of the exposed chest wall to obtain a tracing of your heart's electrical activity. The students will operate the machine to obtain the ECG and interpret the findings. Each session is divided into two 45 minute segments with about 15 students per session. The students will rotate during the session to enable them all to operate the ECG machine and practice placing the electrodes on the chest wall at the correct positions. The session is facilitated by a medical education fellow.
