What is IBHRE?
Established in 1985, the International Board of Heart Rhythm Examiners is a self-governing, affiliate organization of the Heart Rhythm Society that provides competency certification in the fields of cardiac rhythm device therapy and cardiac electrophysiology. IBHRE offers three certifications; one for physicians and two for allied professionals designed to demonstrate mastery of knowledge in the field of cardiac rhythm management. IBHRE certification is achieved by successful completion of a written exam. The scopes of IBHRE certifications cover a broad knowledge base in the sub-specialties of cardiac pacing and electrophysiology. Successful completion of an IBHRE examination certifies that a practitioner is professionally competent in their respective subspecialty.
