--- title: "EKG & Cardiology Teaching, Workshops and Keynotes | Dr. G the NP" description: "Visual, interactive EKG and cardiology sessions — keynotes, workshops, staff development, and virtual training built around your clinicians." lang: en json-ld: --- [Dr. G the NP Clinical Educator & Speaker ](/) [Home](/)[About](/about)[Teaching](/teaching)[Testimonials](/testimonials)[Contact](/contact) [Book Dr. G](/contact) ![](/assets/hero-ekg-lEhFLQRQ.jpg) Teaching & Training Come for the EKGs, stay for the cartoons # A teaching style clinicians remember years later Visual. Interactive. Genuinely funny. My sessions turn the topics clinicians avoid into the ones they want to talk about at lunch. [Request a Session](/contact) The Dr. G method ## How it works Draw it, name it, use it I don't lecture at people. I draw with them. Every concept gets a picture, a name worth remembering, and a clinical situation where it matters. Learners spend the session interpreting, arguing, and calling rhythms out loud instead of watching slides go by. Humor does a lot of work here. When a room laughs, it relaxes — and a relaxed clinician will finally admit what they don't understand. That admission is where real learning starts, so I build every session to earn it early. ![Clinicians participating in a Dr. G the NP EKG interpretation workshop](/media/teaching-audience.jpg) Signature explanations ## The analogies attendees quote back to me The images that outlive the slide deck — the shortcuts clinicians repeat at the bedside months after the session ends. 01 ### EKGs and Fireworks Why every 12-lead interpretation starts in lead II, taught through a fireworks analogy. Step one of the nine-step process, and the reason learners always know where to begin. 02 ### Blinkers & Bundle Branch Blocks Bundle branch blocks explained through driving a car: blinker up or blinker down depending on which way you're turning. Left versus right stops being a coin flip. 03 ### The Christmas Cookie A pattern-recognition analogy from my foundational interpretation course — the one attendees quote back to me most often. 04 ### The Aflutter Merry-Go-Round From the advanced course: atrial flutter as a circuit spinning at a fixed speed, with the AV node deciding who gets off the ride. Sawtooth waves finally have a reason to exist. See her teach ## Teaching clips Real excerpts from Dr. G's EKG material — cartoons, analogies, and the kind of questions that make a room lean in. 1:38 Featured clip ### Teaching live at the LANP Conference 2025 Left ventricular hypertrophy from long-standing hypertension — cartoons, analogies, and a room that's laughing while it learns. The best single look at what a session with me feels like from a seat in the audience. See it in action 4:19 Teaching clip ### EKGs and Fireworks An introduction to step one of Dr. G's nine-step EKG interpretation process — why you start a 12-lead in lead II — taught through a Fourth of July fireworks analogy. 3:15 Teaching clip ### LBBB preview How to identify a left bundle branch block using the driving-a-car analogy — blinker up or blinker down, depending on which way you're turning. 2:05 Teaching clip ### Old MI preview Dr. G walks learners through spotting the signs of an old heart attack on the 12-lead, one question at a time. 1:58 Teaching clip ### Atrial flutter preview Identifying atrial flutter with the merry-go-round analogy, plus a graphic of what's happening inside the right atrium. ![Dr. Tranise Goodlow standing in navy scrubs embroidered with the Dr. G the NP logo](/media/drg-full-scrubs.jpg) Who you're booking ## A cardiology clinician on your stage A decade in cardiology — outpatient practice, clinical education, and now a non-clinical cardiovascular science role — with plans to return to direct patient care. I still remember what it feels like to be handed a 12-lead and asked what to do. That's what your audience gets: education grounded in real cardiology practice, not theory. Simple. Visual. Clinical. Formats ## Built to fit your agenda Keynote, workshop, in-service, or virtual — the content is rebuilt around your timeframe, your audience, and the rhythms they actually see. 4 Delivery formats 01 ### Keynote or plenary 45–60 minutes of high-energy cardiac education designed for a large, mixed clinician audience. 02 ### Half- or full-day workshop Deep-dive EKG interpretation with progressive practice, case work, and hands-on rhythm calls. 03 ### On-site staff development In-services and orientation content built for your unit's patient population and protocols. 04 ### Virtual & hybrid sessions Fully interactive online delivery with polling, live annotation, and Q&A for distributed teams. Learner outcomes ## What attendees walk away able to do - Read a 12-lead EKG with a repeatable, nine-step method - Recognize the rhythms that require immediate action — and the ones that don't - Connect each finding to the intervention, escalation, or conversation it demands - Teach what they learned to the next clinician on their unit Recent engagements ## Recently invited to teach at National conferences, state NP associations, universities, and health systems keep bringing these sessions back to their clinicians. 19 Invited sessions 15 Host organizations [See full speaking history→ ](/about) 2026 ### ARNPs United of Washington State Conference Anatomy of an EKG & From Strip to Strategy 2026 ### University of Massachusetts Anatomy of an EKG — Intro to EKG Interpretation 2025 ### Rush University Medical Center When the Beat Goes Long… QT, Stimulants, and the Heart of Substance Abuse 2025 ### Illinois Society of Advanced Practice Nursing Conference Anatomy of an EKG — Intro to EKG Interpretation Overview 2025 ### ARNPs United of Washington State Conference Anatomy of an EKG & Sneaky EKG Findings 2025 ### Louisiana Nurse Practitioner Association Conference Anatomy of an EKG & Sneaky EKG Findings 2025 ### Nice Healthcare Anatomy of an EKG — Intro to EKG Interpretation Overview 2025 ### Colorado Society of Advanced Practice Nurses Meeting Anatomy of an EKG — Intro to EKG Interpretation ## Ready to build a session around your clinicians?
