IBHRE Lounge at Heart Rhythm 2024

The IBHRE Lounge (Room 152) is open daily to all who are IBHRE certified and for those seeking to learn about earning an IBHRE certification. This is a great opportunity for IBHRE certified individuals to discuss volunteer opportunities, meet with IBHRE leaders, learn about scholarships, pick up IBHRE certification lapel pins, and...discuss case studies!

For the first time, case studies will be presented in the IBHRE Lounge! Join us for TWO engaging educational sessions tailored for those seeking to gain a more in-depth understanding of cardiac device programming and cardiac electrophysiology procedures using real-world experiences.

Each case study will be delivered using a structured presentation framework that will provide you with the opportunity to learn from every procedure you're involved in. We will share how to use the learning concepts from YOUR experiences and compare them to the credentialing exam blueprint. This exercise fosters a deeper understanding of key concepts and skills essential for clinical excellence.

Take advantage of this enriching educational experience designed to empower healthcare professionals in their pursuit of excellence in cardiac electrophysiology and device programming.

Refreshments will be available in the Lounge. If you miss visiting the Lounge and have questions, stop by IBHRE’s exhibit, Booth #567.
