The NBE has developed a Recertification Examination that is similar in format to the Examination of Special Competence in Perioperative Transesophageal Echocardiography (PTEeXAM) but designed specifically for those who have previously passed the PTEeXAM. The case oriented section will be the same as the PTEeXAM, however the multiple choice sections are designed specifically for those who have previously passed the PTEeXAM and will be comprised of fewer questions. The Recertification examination has one case oriented block that is identical to the PTEeXAM. Additionally, the RePTE has two multiple choice blocks while the PTEeXAM has 3 multiple choice blocks.
