Yes, however there are many physicians who want to obtain the credential for Board Certified Electrophysiologist and who are not able to take the current U.S. EP Board exam delivered by ABIM. IBHRE saw the need to develop an international examination to certify physicians in EP who are qualified by their training or experience to take such an exam, but who may not be eligible to take the ABIM exam.
