What is the reason for starting the IBHRE Board Certification Examination in Cardiac Electrophysiology for the Physician (MD EP)?
The IBHRE Physician Pacing exam covers a small amount of electrophysiology topics and is generally targeted at physicians who specialize in device therapy. These may or may not be electrophysiologists, and include surgeons, internists, pediatric physicians and others. The MD EP exam will evaluate knowledge and judgment in the broad domain of clinical cardiac electrophysiology and the diagnosis and treatment of patients who suffer from heart rhythm disorders. The exam will bridge the difference between language and practice to meet the certification needs of international, pediatric and qualifying U.S. physicians who have chosen EP as their subspecialty practice.
