It all depends upon the setting. In a hospital you will typically be associated with the cath lab. There you will experience EP studies for arrhythmias, ie; VT, SVT, SSS, AF. If pt has documented hx of prior arrhythmias then you should be expecting cardiac ablation, PPM or ICD implantation. They also assist in performing tilt table tests. In a clinic setting you may either work for an EP or in a pacer clinic. What your responsibilities are there will vary. As for being a new grad, it all depends upon the availability of education/training. Often the pacer reps, ie guidant, st jude or medtronic, will offer some training/education. If education is not available then spend 2-3 years in an area that exposes you to cardiac pts. Please let me know if I can answer any more questions.
