Allied Professionals
IBHRE currently offers three specialty certifications for allied professionals (ex: clinical practitioners, device technicians, manufacture representatives, nurses and physician assistants) which are each administered once a year. Exams offered are:
- Certified Cardiac Device Specialist (CCDS)
- Certified Electrophysiology Specialist (CEPS)
- Cardiac Device Remote Monitoring Specialist (CDRMS)
IBHRE also administers a Japanese-language Certified Cardiac Device Specialist - Japan Device Representative (CCDS-JDR) exam in collaboration with the Japanese Heart Rhythm Society.
“IBHRE certification is sought and obtained by the best and brightest. It means these individuals care about EP/devices and keep up with current changes. Having patients ask if staff is IBHRE certified increases the value of the certification for employers, thus making an IBHRE certified employee more valuable.”
