What is the purpose of the ReASCE and RePTE examinations?
NBE recommends that due to the rapidly changing technology and advances in echocardiography, echocardiographers take an examination at least once every 10 years. The purpose of the ReASCE examination is to promote continued excellence in the performance and interpretation of cardiac ultrasound. The purpose of the RePTE examination is to promote continued excellence in the application of cardiac ultrasound in the perioperative setting. These examinations should be considered in conjunction with on-going continuing medical education in the field.
